For one night, anyway, Nashville Predators fans need to cheer on the Chicago Blackhawks, as they host the St. Louis Blues in the only game this evening which affects the Preds' playoff chances.

St. Louis is just one point back of Nashville, and after tonight both of them will have just 5 games remaining.

For the Blackhawks perspective, head over to Second City Hockey, and if you need a case of the Blues, check out St. Louis Game Time.

In Preds-related news, John Glennon reports that Jason Arnott is due to participate in a part of tomorrow's practice with the team. At this point, I can't imagine that even if things went well he'd play before next Thursday's game against Detroit (just my hunch, I have no scoop here).
