And then there was one.
The Nashville Predators will conclude their 2017-18 regular season - one that has become the best in franchise history - tonight as the Columbus Blue Jackets come to town.
With a win in Washington Thursday, the Predators not only clinched their first Central Division and regular-season Western Conference titles in club history, but a Florida Panthers victory over Boston also gave Nashville the Presidents' Trophy as the League's top point-getter.

It's certainly been a remarkable six months, and the Predators would love nothing more than to collect one more win - the 52 they have also set a franchise record - as tonight's contest provides one more opportunity for the Preds to fine-tune their game before the 2018 Stanley Cup Playoffs begin next week.
It's also Fan Appreciation Night at Bridgestone Arena with plenty of giveaways in store for fans (details below).

Last Time Out:
Craig Smith scored twice to help the Predators to a 4-3 win over the Capitals on Thursday night in Washington. Roman Josi and Ryan Johansen also tallied in the victory, while Juuse Saros made 29 saves on the evening to collect his 11th win of the season.
Viktor Arvidsson and Filip Forsberg enter tonight's contest tied for the team lead in scoring with 61 points apiece, followed by P.K.
