I'm expecting a wide open, aggressive matchup here. The Wild have revenge for a 6-2 home loss to the Predators on March 13.

Minnesota has scored three or more goals in 10 straight games. Nashville has surrendered at least three goals in seven of its last eight games.

The Predators should have plenty of energy. They last were in action this past Friday. Nashville is averaging four goals a game during its past three games. The Predators have produced at least four goals in nine of their last 12 games.
