The Predators sure love playing in "Smashville."
With their win in Game 3 against the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday, the club pushed their home winning streak in the playoffs to 10 games, the highest mark by an NHL team in 20 years, according to Adam Vingan of the Tennessean.
The streak dates back to the first round of last season against - you guessed it - the Anaheim Ducks. The Predators last dropped a playoff game at home on April 21, 2016 in Game 4 against these same Ducks. In fact, the Ducks won Games 3 and 4 of that first-round series in Nashville after the Preds took the first two games in Anaheim.
Nashville can push that streak to 11 with a win in Game 4 on Thursday night.
