Expecting both goalies to be on top of their game.
Discipline and special teams are the wildcard.

Agreed.
The HC guys were talking about Laine earlier today and showed how he is still playing regular season hockey on the perimeter and why he hasnt been more effective. Of course his shot is so good he can still affect a game at any moment, but his compete is not where others are, and its because the Preds are making it hard through the middle when they are playing their game.
I still think Nashville wins but nothing would surprise me with the Jets as they have all the pieces.
