NHL Playoffs: What channel is Ducks vs. Predators game 6 on?

Here is where you can watch Game 6 of the NHL playoffs first-round series between the Anaheim Ducks and Nashville Predators.

Tonight, Monday, April 25, at 8:00 p.m. EST the Anaheim Ducks and Nashville Predators will meet in Game 3 of their opening-round NHL playoffs series.

The Anaheim Ducks have become notoriously known for losing game sevens at home. However, they have only gotten to that point by not closing out in Game 6. Last year was strong piece evidence behind the importance of closing out a team when you have the opportunity. The Ducks won Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals in overtime and had a chance to close out the Blackhawks in Game 6. They failed to do so and the Blackhawks won Game 7 and eventually won the Stanley Cup.

The Ducks will have to instill that killer instinct tonight if they want to end this series as Bridgestone Arena will be rocking and the Predators will do everything in their power to get to a game seven.

For the Predators, they must dial things back and focus on what gave them success early on in this series. That is physical, but smart, play, not allowing the Ducks to establish a forecheck, good goaltending and added offense from the defense.

The Predators will also need more from their star players. Roman Josi was great in Games 1 and 2 but has not made that same impact as of late in this series. James Neal will need to be a strong factor again and Craig Smith could be back in the lineup after being injured and missing the past few games.

Most importantly, if Pekka Rinne is not on his game, it could be the end of Nashville’s season.

The Ducks efforts to end this series will begin at 8:00 p.m. ET tonight at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee. The game will be aired on CNBC.
