Th Jets naturally play a heavier game. They do not have to step up and play a different harder style in the playoffs. Over the regular season this doesn't matter much but in the playoffs the top-4 d-men for the Predators will be in a constant state of recovery. The fall off after the top-4 falls off dramatically to Emelin and Irwin and Yannick Weber is taking a longer time getting healthy.
Dumba was pretty spectacular for the Wild at the start of the series and wore down over 3-4 games.
Jets have to win one in Nashville. They get 2 chances to start the series.
