This game really carries no weight for the Predators. They've clinched home ice throughout the playoffs so they can go on cruise control here. Not so with the Blue Jackets. This is an important matchup for them regarding playoff seeding. As added motivation, the Blue Jackets also have double revenge.

The Blue Jackets have been a blazing 13-1-2 down the stretch. They have won six of their last seven road games and are near full strength.
