Thursday NHL Playoffs: Thiessen picks Carolina Hurricanes at Nashville Predators

Carolina looks to close out NHL playoff series, while Nashville wants to get to Game 7

Home games in the NHL playoffs are always interesting, especially when the hosts have their backs against the boards.

That is the situation Nashville is in tonight, down 3-2 to Carolina in this really competitive first round battle with Carolina.

The Hurricanes got an overtime win in Game 5, and go to Nashville looking to move on against Tampa Bay.

But the Predators might not be done just yet: I think they find a way to force a decisive Game 7 Saturday.
