Five things to know about tonight's NHL games ...

1. Nash Back. Rick Nash isn't sure if he'll hear cheers or boos upon his return to Columbus. Via Rangers Rants: "I spent a long time there, it’ll be fun to go back to the city. Other than that, it’s such a cliché thing to say but the points are more important. Whether it’s them, Philly or the Caps, either way any game against those teams will be huge games where we need points."

2. Jackets Ready. Columbus's game against the Rangers has major playoff impact. It's Officer Bob vs. King Henrik.

3. Teuvo Time Can Wait. With Patrick Kane out, it's finally time for rookie Teuvo Teravainen to make it to Chicago. But he won't play in tonight's game against Carolina.

4. Oh Great, The Bruins Might Be Even Better. Dennis Seidenberg could be back, and rested, for the postseason.

5. Welcome To Jankrok. The Predators will debut Calle Jarnkrok tonight, acquired from Detroit in the David Legwand trade.
