Keys To The Game:

• Play with urgency: The last thing Nashville needs after an emotional win against Detroit is a let down on the road. With the playoff right as tight as it is, every game matters. And with Buffalo in a playoff battle of it's own and playing in their house, the Sabres certainly will not be taking this game off. The Predators need to come out strong and not rest on their laurels from last night.
• Attack the net: Anybody who watched the Olympics knows what kind of level Ryan Miller is capable of playing at. Nashville has done a great job of getting to the net and putting home rebounds the last two games, and they'll need to do just that if they want to get anything by Miller.

The games only get bigger from here, folks, and today is no exception.
