How to Watch, Live Stream Wild vs. Preds

The final contest against a Central Division foe in the regular season comes tonight for the Nashville Predators as they host the Minnesota Wild at Bridgestone Arena. It's the fifth and final meeting of the campaign between the two clubs with the Preds owning a 1-3-0 record against the Wild this season, including a 4-1 loss on Saturday in Minnesota.
The Predators have dropped three consecutive games but managed a point in a 5-4 shootout loss in Winnipeg on Sunday evening. While the ultimate result was disappointing, Nashville's effort, coming in the second half of a back-to-back against one of the League's top teams, was encouraging, an attribute they hope to build upon tonight.

"[Tonight's effort was] much better," Nashville defenseman Ryan Ellis said after Sunday's outing. "The last two games, I think we just weren't ourselves. We didn't look like anything we've been this whole year and tonight, on a back-to-back, versus arguably one of the best teams in the League, to put that effort out and get a point out of it - it's not [the result] we wanted - but it was much better by everyone involved. Much better effort."
Both Austin Watson and Yannick Weber were absent from Tuesday's morning skate and are listed as day-to-day with upper-body injuries.

Last Time Out:
Roman Josi, Kyle Turris, Ryan Ellis and Viktor Arvidsson all tallied against the Jets on Sunday, while Juuse Saros made 43 saves through 65 minutes of play in the loss.
