Podcast: Can the Predators Actually Catch the Jets in Playoff Standings?

The Hockey News' Emma Lingan talks Nashville Predators with Braden Gall of 440 Sports and Michael Gallagher of Nashville Hockey Now on The Gold Standard podcast.

The Predators keep winning, and they're doing it in every way imaginable –a dominant shutout of the Florida Panthers , a defensive slugfest against the Detroit Red Wings and an incredible three-goal comeback against the Vegas Golden Knights .

The comeback win against Vegas felt special. This entire historic 18-game point streak feels special. The Predators are playing like a top-10 team, and they look like they can win a playoff series. In fact, they even have a chance to catch the Winnipeg Jets for third place in the Central Division.

Filip Forsberg and Roman Josi are having special seasons in Nashville; their names are even coming up in NHL awards conversations – as are those of first-year general manager Barry Trotz and head coach Andrew Brunette.

In less positive news, the Predators have yet another injury on their blue line. On the bright side, NHL hits leader Jeremy Lauzon returned to action in Nashville's March 26 win over Vegas.

Is this team ever going to lose again? When they do, how will they respond?
