The Nashville Predators have officially been eliminated from playoff contention following a 3-2 loss to the St. Louis Blues. With 62 points and a record of 27-37-8, the Predators can now only reach a maximum of 82 points in the remaining games. This marks the second time in three seasons they will miss the playoffs, following last year's absence after a nine-year streak. Filip Forsberg expressed disappointment, and Ryan O'Reilly noted that the team felt eliminated for a while. The Predators will face the Vegas Golden Knights next.
