The Nashville Predators face off against the Anaheim Ducks In Game one

The Nashville Predators face off against the Anaheim Ducks in a playoff series that will involve two teams with two very different playing styles.

The Ducks are offensively brilliant, tremendously fun to watch, and on a serious roll. Nashville is disciplined, defense-oriented—and very due for some playoff success.

The fifth-seeded Predators begin their sixth shot at the first playoff series victory in franchise history when they visit Honda Center on Wednesday night to take on the fourth-seeded Ducks, who streaked all the way to home-ice advantage with a 15-5-0 finish to the regular season.

The clubs’ marked contrasts in philosophy should be most obvious when Ryan Suter and Shea Weber, Nashville’s peerless defensive combo, match up against the Ducks’ top line featuring NHL goal-scoring champion Corey Perry, playmaking captain Ryan Getzlaf and resilient winger Bobby Ryan.

Suter and Weber have consistently shut down most high-scoring forwards this season, while Perry has scored on almost every defense down the stretch of his 98-point season for the Ducks, getting 19 goals in a 14-game span while Anaheim sprinted to the playoffs.

The Ducks are just as impressed with Suter and Weber, with coach Randy Carlyle calling them the NHL’s top defensive pairing. Their former goalie agrees.

With their strength contrasting so neatly, both teams realize they’ll be challenged to adjust their weaknesses. Nashville has just two 20-goal scorers and nobody with more than 50 points, while Anaheim’s 235 goals allowed were the most by any playoff team except Tampa Bay.

The Ducks’ defensive discipline and the Predators’ offensive ingenuity could end up deciding the series, Perry believes.

Along with Nashville’s increasingly dominant defense, which gave up 41 fewer goals than Anaheim, the Predators head into the playoffs with rapidly improving health after a lengthy injury parade.

The Predators are 8-20 in their last 28 Conference Quarterfinals games and the Ducks are 10-3 in their last 13 overall.

The Ducks are too much to handle for the Predators as they take game one of the series.
