NASHVILLE Adidas Chris Terry Jersey , Tenn. (AP) Predators goalie Pekka Rinne has years of postseason experience, including a couple Game 7s and a Stanley Cup Final.Connor Hellebuyck has the Winnipeg Jets on the verge of their first Western Conference final in his first playoff appearance, and the best comparison he can make to the looming Game 7 in Nashville is playing for Hockey East championships back in college. I have yet to be scored on in one, so I like those odds,  Hellebuyck said.  This has nothing to do with that. This is whole new level and you’ve just got to get into the game as much as you can. Nobody has reflected the roller-coaster ride of this thrilling Western Conference semifinal between the NHL’s top two teams in the regular season than their Vezina Trophy finalists. Rinne has been pulled from not one but two games – both on his own ice – before staving off elimination in Game 6 with his second shutout this postseason. When you think about Game 7, as a team, as an individual, you’re just going to give it all and do your best and do it as a team and trust your teammates,  Rinne said Wednesday.  I think that’s the best formula and focus on your own team. Hellebuyck’s stats include a 2-1 record in Nashville in this series, which ends Thursday night (8 p.m. ET, NBCSN) in the only Game 7 of the second round this postseason. Hellebuyck gave up three goals in a 4-0 home loss Monday night , turning this into a winner-take-all game for the right to play Vegas in the conference final. We know it’s all on the line, and nothing in the past is going to bother us,  Hellebuyck said.  We can’t let it. This is going to be the most fun game we’re going to play and I think a lot of us are going to enjoy ourselves. RESTED RINNEA Justin Timberlake concert Wednesday night pushed Game 7 to Thursday night, giving the 35-year-old Rinne two days of rest. During the regular season, the Predators goalie went 11-3 with a 1.99 goals-against average and .936 save percentage during the season when he got two days to rest between games.  It’s nice to have that extra day Adidas Dennis Cholowski Jersey ,  Rinne said.EDGE IN EXPERIENCEThe eventual Stanley Cup champion in each of the past five seasons has won a Game 7 along the way. This is the Predators’ third Game 7. The Jets will become the 29th active NHL franchise to play a Game 7 on Thursday night. Nashville is among both the 14 teams to win their first Game 7 and the 10 who did that on the road, beating Anaheim in 2016 to clinch a first-round series.Nashville coach Peter Laviolette, 5-2 in Game 7s, is one of only four NHL coaches to win a Game 7 in each of four different playoff rounds (Pat Burns, Mike Keenan and John Tortorella). He also has 20 Predators who have at least one Game 7 on their resume. Jets coach Paul Maurice is 2-0 himself, though only eight of his Jets have played in a Game 7.RAZOR-THIN SERIESNashville finished only three points (117) ahead of Winnipeg (114) for the Presidents’ Trophy, and this series has been about as close as possible. The Jets have more goals (22-18), while Nashville has more shots on goal (217-213). But even-strength shot attempts are 338 apiece with each team blocking 97 shots. The Predators have only three more hits (144-141).TOP LINE MATTERSNashville’s JOFA line of Ryan Johansen, Filip Forsberg and Viktor Arvidsson combined for eight points in keeping the Predators alive with a 4-0 win in Game 6. Winnipeg’s top line of Blake Wheeler, Kyle Connor and Mark Scheifele had eight points in Game 5. It’s the final game for one team,  Jets coach Paul Maurice said.  So, there’s lot of emotion, lots of excitement. But there’s definitely a calmness to it. There’s a finality coming. It brings out the best I think. THE DREAM GAME Ever since I started playing hockey, I was five years old, you put yourself in that position where you play a Game 7 in the playoffs,  Jets forward Mathieu Perrault said.  This is what we play for. So this should be the most fun we’ve had all year. — COLUMBUS Adidas Wade Megan Jersey , Ohio (AP) The Columbus Blue Jackets outshot opponents in the last four games but just couldn’t get the puck to bounce their way as the losses piled up.Things finally started going the Blue Jackets’ way again on Saturday night as they beat Metropolitan Division-rival New Jersey 6-1 to snap a season-high five-game losing streak.The onslaught was a relief for Columbus, which badly needed a win after dropping both ends of a home-and-home series this week to Washington and falling farther behind the Capitals in the tightly bunched division. It was the Blue Jackets’ first win in regulation in the last 14 games. We knew we had it in us,  said forward Pierre-Luc Dubois, who scored the first goal for Columbus .  Sometimes you’re lucky, sometimes you aren’t. A game like that helps your confidence. Keith Kinkaid, playing in place of an injured Cory Schneider, stopped 44 shots for the Devils, who have lost three straight and seven of their last 10. We started off pretty well, and it just unraveled from there,  Devils defenseman Andy Greene said.  We have to be a lot stronger mentally. Stuff is going to happen, there are going to mistakes. We have to make sure we fight hard and continue to battle. Artemi Panarin and Oliver Bjorkstrand each had a goal and an assist, and Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 35 shots for Columbus. Josh Anderson, Nick Foligno and Matt Calvert also scored. We’ve been doing a lot of good things in recent games, and to get rewarded a little bit on the offensive side is big,  said Blue Jackets forward Boone Jenner, who had two assists.  We had a big number of shots again Adidas Evgeny Svechnikov Jersey , a lot of breaks for us there. Dubois scored his 12th goal of the season late in the first period when he skated into the slot and snapped in a perfect feed from Panarin.Columbus scored the next three goals in a space of 3:09 in the second period. They just kept coming,  Kinkaid said.  They were relentless in the their battles. Panarin got his 15th of the season at 11:49 as Cam Atkinson missed with a wraparound try, and Panarin was in the perfect spot to backhand it past Kinkaid.Anderson got his team-leading 17th and made it 3-0 just 80 seconds later on a breakaway, in which Bobrovsky was awarded a secondary assist. Bjorkstrand finished the flurry with a top-shelf tally, his ninth of the season.Foligno, playing in his 400th game with the Blue Jackets, put back a rebound in the third period for his 11th goal, and Matt Calvert made it 6-0 with a rocket from the slot on a power play at 9:45, his seventh of the season.Kyle Palmieri was credited with a goal with 3 1/2 minutes left in the game to spoil Bobrovsky’s shutout bid, although the video replay showed it was tipped in by Jenner as he fell in the crease. The better team won,  New Jersey coach John Hynes said.  The harder team, the more competitive team, the more prepared team won. They deserved it. That’s how you have to play to win this time of year. NOTES: Columbus scored three goals in a single period for the first time since Dec. 29 and scored six goals in a game for the first time since Dec. 14. … G Schneider missed his seventh straight game due to an injury. Kincaid started his sixth straight in his place. … F Jimmy Hayes and D Mirco Mueller were scratched for New Jersey. … F Lukas Sedlak and D Dean Kukan were scratches for the Blue Jackets.UP NEXTDevils: Hosts Boston on Sunday.Blue Jackets: At the New York Islanders on Tuesday.—
