The Predators sit in seventh place in the Western Conference with 82 points, one ahead of the 8th-place Ducks and two ahead of the 9th and 10th-place Oilers and Blues, respectively. The Predators defeated the Los Angeles Kings 4-3 on Saturday night, but the OT win's status as Nashville's third game in five nights prompted Barry Trotz to say the following to the Associated Press:
March 29, Associated Press: "It's taxing our nerves, it's taxing our resiliency, and it's taxing our character a little bit lately," Nashville coach Barry Trotz said. "It has been a rough week. We have played three games in five nights, and they have all been emotionally draining in one way or another."

- Predators centre David Legwand may have a broken cheekbone after taking a puck in the face in practice. That leaves Nashville down their top two pivots and only 20-goal scorers, with Jason Arnott missing eight straight with a concussion.
Posters note- They had better not be reading these headlines and taking this team lightly as they did the NYI. Pekka Rinne will make Joey MacDonald look like a high school goalie.
