When Andrew Brunette was playing for Minnesota, the Wild worked their way back from two separate 3-games-to-1 deficits to win playoff series. Now he will try to lead Nashville to a comeback from the bench. The Predators trail Vancouver 3-1 in their first-round series, with a chance for the Canucks to advance in Game 5. The Bruins, Hurricanes and Avalanche can also move on with victories on Tuesday night. Brunette said his team has been playing well enough to win. “The hockey gods may ... give you a little bit of a break here,” said the first-year coach, who was with Minnesota in 2003 when the Wild rallied against Colorado in the first round and Vancouver in the second to reach their only conference final. PREDATORS at CANUCKS, Vancouver leads 3-1, 10 p.m. (TBS)The Canucks can clinch a series and advance on home ice, something they haven’t done since they beat San Jose in five games to win the Western Conference title in 2011. Vancouver last reached the second round in 2020 in the Edmonton bubble. |
