Wild-Predators Preview

GAME: Minnesota Wild (38-35-7) at Nashville Predators (46-25-8).

TIME: Thursday, 8 p.m. EDT.

The Nashville Predators got a shutout from Chris Mason in their first game since announcing top goaltender Tomas Vokoun would miss the rest of the season because of blood clots. They're hoping another strong performance from their new No. 1 goalie will give Mason another boost of confidence as the playoffs approach.
