This series will mark the first time in nearly 13 years that the Vancouver Canucks and Nashville Predators have met in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. That year, 2011, the Canucks defeated the Predators in six games in the second round and eventually would go on to fall to the Boston Bruins in the Stanley Cup Final in seven game.
The Vancouver Canucks had the Nashville Predators' number during the regular season, sweeping their season series 3-0 and outscoring Nashville 13 to 6. But, the Predators turned things around after Christmas and since the All-Star break, had a record of 21-7-3.
All of Vancouver's games will be broadcasted nationally across Canada on Sportsnet and CBC.
