The Nashville Predators are on a roll.
With a 5-3 win over the Dallas Stars on Tuesday, the Music City squad pushed its recent record to 7-0-3, tying a franchise record with points in 10 consecutive games.
Nashville's past three wins, all in regulation, have come against Chicago, St. Louis, and, now, Dallas, all teams that sit ahead of the Predators in the Central Division standings.
The latest win helped the Predators secure their hold on the first wild-card spot in the Western Conference, and their upcoming schedule appears conducive to at least a few more wins.
Next six games:

Very favorable schedule for Nashville
While Nashville remained quiet at the trade deadline, the addition of Ryan Johansen earlier in the season and, more importantly, the resurgence of Pekka Rinne, have given the Predators the look of a legitimate challenger come playoff time.
