With all of the roster shakeup the Nashville Predators have been through over the past month, it’s hard to even fathom that this team is mathematically alive in the playoff race.

It was one month ago to the day that the first of several dramatic roster changes shook the Nashville Predators, but it wasn’t due to a trade or a call-up. It was the brutal and awkward fall to the ice by Filip Forsberg against the Philadelphia Flyers on February 11.

Somehow, the Nashville Predators remain with a slim chance to make the playoffs. They have games in hand over teams they need to jump past, with the Winnipeg Jets holding the final wildcard spot and six points ahead.

I think we can all agree that if the Nashville Predators end up missing the playoffs, it will be totally understandable. So what are we hoping to learn over the last 20 games?
