NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Nashville coach Barry Trotz insists he knew nothing of Detroit's loss just as his Predators went into the third period needing a win of their own to grab back the chance of landing home-ice advantage to start the playoffs.
His Predators sure responded as if they did.

The night is darkest just before the dawn. And I promise you, the dawn is coming.
Last night was a tough one for Colorado Avalanche Nation. In a certain must-win game, the Avalanche could not get it done as they fell 5-2 to the lowly Columbus Blue Jackets.
Of course, had the Avs pulled off the victory, it would have all been for naught as the San Jose Sharks won a wild won...

Playing the 27- now 28- win Columbus Blue Jackets, the Avs played a sloppy, turnover-filled hockey game in a 5-2 loss.
