Would be awesome if we can hold off the others & keep the top spot going into the Stanley Cup Playoffs. But we've had so many injuries recently that I'm not surpised at the losses. So I'd rather the Preds focus on getting healthy than have them come back too soon & risk our chance at bringing the Stanley Cup to Nashville

Four combined goals... looks like that was one heck of a third period.
