Predators vs. Avalanche Game 6 start time, live stream, TV schedule
The Colorado Avalanche turned things up in Game 6, and they will get a chance to force Game 7 at home against the Nashville Predators
The Colorado Avalanche are making things very difficult for the highly-touted Nashville Predators. While some believed the Preds were a guarantee Western Conference finalist, the Avs are looking to upset the President Trophy-winning powerhouse.
Colorado captain Gabriel Landeskog enjoyed a better second half of the season, but he is really turning things up in the playoffs. He is tied for fourth with seven points and has four goals in five games. He is leading his team by example, and after a strong regular season, the Avalanche are looking to bring glory back to Denver sooner rather than later.

Matt Duchene hit the road earlier this year, and the Avs haven’t looked back. Nathan MacKinnon enjoyed a return to the top this season and is the undisputed top line center. With that all the drama in Colorado put to rest, MacKinnon is well on his way to becoming one of the NHL’s best. He has three goals and three assists in the playoffs and is second only to Alexander Ovechkin with 23 shots on goal.
For the Predators, depth is the name of the game. They boast one of the strongest rosters in the NHL, and are hungry for their first Stanley Cup win in franchise history. Ryan Johansen is still looking for his identity in the NHL, but he looks like a top line center for the two-way Predators.
He has two goals and three assists so far in the playoffs and has developed strong chemistry with Filip Forsberg. As long as they continue to score, the Predators have every chance of winning.
The big names are on the blueline. Roman Josi, P.K. Subban, Ryan Ellis, and Mattias Ekholm are the best group of defenders in the NHL. They all have abilities at both ends of the ice and continue to help the Predators win games. With all four healthy and booming, it is hard to see the Predators falling in the first round.
