The Nashville Predators finished 3-1-1 against the Jets in the regular season and they had one of the best home records in the league.

The Jets are in the postseason for the first time since 2014-15 and just the second time since their move from Atlanta while the Preds will be looking to make it to the Stanley Cup Finals for a second straight season.

Nashville has won four of the last five meetings at Bridgestone Arena, and I expect the playoff-proven Preds to come through in front of a fanatic home town crowd Friday night.

8* play on Nashville Predators.
