Montreal Canadiens News & Notes:

Montreal is on a four game winning streak, and a victory against the Predators tonight could end the season for a handful of teams in the Eastern Conference.

Nashville Predators News & Notes:

The Predators have lost their last five games as they continue to patrol the bottom of the NHL Standings. With a Blackhawks team 10 points below them and Philadelphia and Boston nine points above them, the Predators seem all but destined for the third-best odds in the 2025 NHL Draft Lottery.
