In each of the previous three matchups, one team has scored at least five goals, with the Oilers putting up seven in December against the Kraken. Luckily for the Bruins, [Connor Clifton](https://www.hockey-reference.com/players/c/cliftco01.html?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&utm_campaign=2023-03-18_hr) is expected to take his place, allowing the Bruins to maintain an elite d-core with seven (arguably eight) NHL-caliber defensemen in their system. [Jeremy Swayman](https://www.hockey-reference.com/players/s/swaymje01.html?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&utm_campaign=2023-03-18_hr) in [ net](https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/starting-goalies) to collect the shutout. As alluded to above, transitional play will be the definition of this game at even-strength play. For Nashville, tonight’s game and the April 8th match-up between these two teams may become the most important games of the Predators’ season for postseason implications. Despite missing [Kirill Kaprizov](https://www.hockey-reference.com/players/k/kapriki01.html?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&utm_campaign=2023-03-18_hr), the Wild have found a way to produce in three games since the injury, including recent strong performances from [Ryan Hartman](https://www.hockey-reference.com/players/h/hartmry01.html?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&utm_campaign=2023-03-18_hr) and recent acquisition [John Klingberg](https://www.hockey-reference.com/players/k/klingjo01.html?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&utm_campaign=2023-03-18_hr). More importantly, the playoff implications of this game may be fundamentally changed; Nashville currently resides four points behind Winnipeg for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference, with three games in hand. With the playoffs unlikely for the Red Wings at this juncture in this season, the play of the team’s youth could provide external promise, including the call-up of defender Simon Edvinsson yesterday afternoon.
