On to the next 👊

Filip Forsberg factored on all three of his team's goals and helped the @PredsNHL move closer to the final Wild Card spot in the West. #NHLStats: media.nhl.com/public/live-up…

Tonight, we honor the life of our longtime scout, Dave Westby 💛

"We believe we can get in the playoffs. Everyone is working and doing what they can to do that. It's a fun time to play hockey, but still a lot of work left.” --> preds.club/4sq8amm #Preds

#Preds Head Coach Andrew Brunette: “We're very appreciative of our crowd. I think they've stuck with us. It hasn't been easy to be a Predators fan, what we went through last year, and you could tell there's electricity in the building. It's back, and tons of credit for them for sticking with us. And I think they've enjoyed the pushback we had this year. Even games before the Olympic break, you can feel the building kind of starting to go like I've seen it go. And we're hoping to have more nights like this where we can continue to build that momentum and treat our fans to some big hockey games.”

A moment of levity down the stretch in a huge #Preds win -->

W. #Preds pick up a huge two points and defeat the Kraken by a 3-1 final. Nashville now has 71 points to pull even with Seattle and Los Angeles in the battle for the Wild Card. Predators host Vegas on Saturday. Yeehaw!

Filip Forsberg. Frosting. 3-1 #Preds

What a day for Matt Murray to get from Winnipeg to Nashville. #Preds

Marchessault gets two for roughing, Evans gets two for boarding - 4-on-4 hockey. #Preds

Matthew Wood gets taken hard into the corner from behind, and Jonathan Marchessault immediately comes in to fight Ryker Evans. Wood appears to be OK. #Preds

Goaltender Matt Murray is now on the #Preds bench as the third period begins.

#Preds have a 2-1 lead over the Kraken after 40 minutes of play. Nashville leads 20-19 in shots. Ryan O'Reilly has the PPG.

Ryan O'Reilly. Yessir. PP goal, 2-1 #Preds

#Preds & Kraken are even at 1-1 after 20 minutes of play. Nashville leads 14-13 in shots. Ryan Ufko has the tally.

Kraken tie it up 1-1

As we mourn the loss of #Preds North American Amateur Scout Dave Westby, fitting that Ryan Ufko has the game's opening goal. Westby was integral in scouting Ufko and bringing him to Nashville --> preds.club/40YO4Ul

Ryan Ufko. Bang. 1-0 #Preds

It's good to be home. Puck is down, #Preds & Kraken are underway from Smashville...

A moment of silence for #Preds North American Amateur Scout, Dave Westby, who passed away earlier this week. 💛
