7:30 p.m. ET Tuesday -- Game 3, Western Conference Quarterfinals | Nashville leads series, 2-1
National TV: NBC Sports Network, CBC, RDS | Local TV: Fox Sports Detroit, SportSouth
Predators goaltender Pekka Rinne was brilliant in Game 3, and between their poor special teams and the injury to Hal Gill, Nashville will need him to come up big again. The Red Wings have gotten good individual game performances from their offensive stars, but they have yet to get all of them clicking at the same time. It might take all of Pavel Datsyuk, Henrik Zetterberg and Johan Franzen playing at their best to put enough past Rinne to win.
