KEY GAME INFORMATION

COLORADO: LAST SEASON: 43-30-9, 95 points. Fourth place in Central Division, 8th seed in Western Conference.
LOST to Nashville Predators in first round.
COACH: Jared Bednar (third season with Avalanche, third NHL season).
ADDED: LW Matt Calvert, D Ian Cole, G Philipp Grubauer.
LOST: LW Blake Comeau, G Jonathan Bernier, RW Nail Yakupov, G Andrew Hammond.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Nathan MacKinnon. The 23-year-old center is coming off a season in which he had 39 goals and 58 assists. His 97 total points were the most by an Avalanche player since Hall of Famer-turned-general manager Joe Sakic recorded 100 in 2006-07. "His skill level is unbelievable," said Grubauer, who was acquired in a trade with Washington in June. "He can make a difference out there."
OUTLOOK: Not much was expected of the Avalanche this time a year ago. With good reason ' they were coming off a 48-point season. They won't be overlooked again after clinching a playoff spot during their final game of the season, before losing to the Predators in the first round. The line of captain Gabriel Landeskog, MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen was put together on Oct. 28 and combined for 225 points in the final 72 games. "We have to remember how much hard work we put into that and know we aren't going to catch anybody sleeping," Landeskog said. "Everybody knows we're a good team and here to stay."

NASHVILLE: LAST SEASON: 53-18-11, 117 points. Won first Presidents' Trophy.
LOST Game 7 to Winnipeg Jets in Western Conference semifinals.
COACH: Peter Laviolette (fifth season, 17th NHL season).
ADDED: D Dan Hamhuis.
LOST: C Mike Fisher, F Scott Hartnell, D Alexei Emelin.
PLAYER TO WATCH: G Pekka Rinne. He turns 36 in November and is in the final year of his current contract coming off a season where he won the Vezina Trophy after being a finalist three other times. Rinne carried the Predators to their first Presidents' Trophy going 42-13-4 with eight shutouts, a 2.31 goals-against average and a .927 save percentage. He also earned his 300th career victory on Feb. 22.
OUTLOOK: The Predators' goal remains winning the Stanley Cup that has eluded them the past two seasons after a loss in the Stanley Cup Final followed by a Game 7 loss to the Winnipeg Jets in the Western Conference semifinals. They kept their core together with their biggest offseason moves signing defenseman Ryan Ellis, backup goalie Juuse Saros, forward Ryan Hartman to extensions. Nashville is expecting more growth from center Ryan Johansen, forwards Filip Forsberg, Viktor Arvidsson, Kevin Fiala and rookie Eeli Tolvanen to keep the Predators competitive in the deep Western Conference.

PREVIEW

Avs look to exorcise demons vs. Preds

Just as the Colorado Avalanche are back on a roll, they'll face their toughest rival of recent years when they visit the Nashville Predators on Saturday.

Colorado is just 3-15-1 against the Predators since April 2016, including a six-game loss to Nashville in the first round of last season's Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Avalanche did earn a 3-2 victory in their previous visit to Nashville on Nov. 27, but the Predators won the other two meetings between the two clubs this season.

The Avalanche will also be coming into Nashville on short rest after playing in Chicago on Friday night, though Colorado will at least have the momentum of a 5-3 win over the Blackhawks.

Since enduring a 5-16-6 stretch between Dec. 8 and Feb. 12, Colorado has now won four of its last five games to get back into the playoff race. The Avalanche are just a single point behind the Minnesota Wild for the final Western Conference wild-card spot.

Colorado is 3-0-0 with 15 goals scored since the former top line of Gabriel Landeskog, Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen was broken up. While head coach Jared Bednar expects rivals will soon adjust to the new alignments, MacKinnon will likely continue to be shifted between lines, with Bednar describing the center as the Avalanche's "X-factor."

"It can be a tougher job to check him, especially if he's playing the way he has the last few games," Bednar recently told reporters. "He's driving offense and he's been real dangerous and dynamic. If you move a player like that around, it becomes a different animal."

Though MacKinnon didn't find the scoresheet against the Blackhawks, he led all Avalanche players with six shots in the game.

With Semyon Varlamov starting against Chicago and such a short turnaround between games, Philipp Grubauer will very likely be in net against Nashville. It would be Grubauer's first start since Feb. 5, and the backup has only amassed 32:52 of ice time in the nine games since his last start.

While the Avalanche are fighting just to reach the postseason, the Predators are battling the Winnipeg Jets for first place in the Central Division -- with an eye on the top seed in the entire Western Conference.

Nashville currently leads Winnipeg by one point.

Goalie Pekka Rinne believe this pressure will take the Predators to another level as they enter the stretch run.

"I feel like right now you can just sense more desperation from other teams, just where we're at in the season, there's 19 games left," Rinne said. "You look at the standings, it's so tight. I feel like we haven't seen our best and now it's time to do it."

Rinne has been a big factor in Nashville's dominance over Colorado. The netminder has a 2.23 goals-against average and .918 save percentage in 38 career games against the Avalanche, with more wins (25) over Colorado than against any other opponent.

Roman Josi has scored the game-winning goal in each of the Predators' last two games. The defenseman's two-point night in Nashville's 2-1 win over the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday gave Josi 15 points (six goals, nine assists) over his last 11 games.
