Game thoughts:
The
Coyotes and Predators have waited long enough.
It’s time to get Round 2 under way.
Both teams made the first round look easier than most expected, which
sets up for an intriguing second-round matchup between two similar clubs.
It’ll
be important for the Coyotes not to have a letdown after their first-ever
playoff series win since moving from Winnipeg; they are far enough removed from
the first round where that shouldn’t
be a problem. The Predators have a
business-like approach in Phoenix this weekend and should at least earn a
split. Look for Smith to have a bit of
an off-night after a sensational opening series.
Prediction: Predators
3, Coyotes 1
