NHL Playoff Schedule 2012, Phoenix Coyotes Vs. Nashville Predators: Game Times, TV Coverage And More
The Coyotes and Predators aren’t the sexiest teams in the NHL, but their second round playoff series should be entertaining nonetheless.
Sure, the Phoenix Coyotes needed six games to dispatch the Chicago Blackhawks and were never in danger of losing control of the series, they won the series with three overtime wins, aided by Chicago netminder Corey Crawford in two of them. Can Mike Smith lead Phoenix to the Conference Finals, or will Nashville be too much to handle?
