The Nashville Predators defeated the San Jose Sharks (sans Timo Meier) as Nino Niederreiter and Mikael Granlund recorded two goals a piece. With Filip Forsberg and Ryan Johansen out with injuries, the Predators saw players like Tommy Novak, Matt Duchene, and Phil Tomasino step up in the 6-2 win. But was this an overall performance the Nashville Predators could win a playoff game with?

Head coach John Hynes put together fresh line combinations last night and the creativity seemed to play off. On today's Locked On Predators, Nick and Ann break down the win over the Sharks including our "one word" to describe the game. We'll tell you why we think a fresh forward look helped Nashville and how this game could be a confidence boost for the Predators as they chase a wildcard spot. It wasn't all good news - last night Juuso Pärssinen left the game with an injury. We debate what might happen in the lineup if Pärssinen isn't able to play Sunday against the Arizona Coyotes. Finally, we end the week with our latest thoughts on David Poile's potential moves before next week's trade deadline. We'll tell you which of this week's happenings have us changing our minds a bit on what may come next for the Predators before March 3.
