After a disastrous outing against the St. Louis Blues on Sunday, the Nashville Predators needed a strong performance Tuesday night against the top team in the Pacific, the Calgary Flames. The Preds are still chasing a playoff spot and desperately needed two points as they faced off against Johnny Gaudreau, Matthew Tkachuk, Andrew Mangiapane and the offensively prolific Flames. The Predators secured two points - and a much needed reset - in a shoot out 3-2 win. Nick and Ann break down the game - what did the Predators do differently to defeat a potential Stanley Cup contender? We also discuss John Hynes' impact on the team's mental toughness, and hear from the head coach on how important that is in this last tough stretch of the season. Plus we talk about Matt Duchene's history making 40th goal of the season and talk about why Dutchy really deserves to celebrate this milestone. Finally, it is Western Conference Wednesday. We share our biggest surprises in the Western Conference this season.
