A home loss for the Predators to wrap it up

class=”sc-3778e872-0 cKDKQr”>

The eventual loss came as a season where too much didn’t go according to plan for the Predators. Three days earlier they had already had to accept the bitter judgment in Nashville that they missed the decisive phase of the championship for the first time in nine years.

Captain Roman Josi’s injury (upper body) matched the overcast picture. The Berner was only a spectator in the last 15 games. Josi was last used in mid-March.

The decision in favor of the Stanley Cup winner Avalanche, who started without the injured Denis Malgin, was made by Nathan MacKinnon with 102 seconds remaining. The Canadian was the star that evening with three goals and one assist. The Denver team finished the regular season for the Dallas Stars as No. 1 in the Central Division. Opponents in the first playoff round are the Seattle Kraken.

As a loser in the last game, the Columbus Blue Jackets, the second worst team in terms of points in qualifying, had to come off the ice with defenseman Tim Berni. The man from Zurich was one of the preparations for American Johnny Gaudreau’s 1-0 lead after 34 seconds at 2-5 on home ice against the Buffalo Sabres. It was Berni’s third goal in his first season in the world’s top flight.
