Preds lose to Coyotes, face elimination tomorrow

The Nashville Predators are one loss away from being eliminated from the NHL postseason. The Arizona Coyotes won the pivotal Game Three, beating the Preds 4-1 in the Best-of-Five Qualifier. Nashville outshot Arizona 40-to-26, but managed only a Viktor Arvidsson goal. The two square off again tomorrow in Edmonton with the Predators needing a victory to stay alive and extend the series.
