Preds choke late in regulation

Halloween night offered plenty of horrors for the Nashville Predators as they squandered a three-goal lead in the 3rd period to eventually lose in overtime.

The Flames would tie it up at 5-5 with less than 40 seconds left in the game. Pekka Rinne would end up saving just 21 of 27 shots faced on the night.

This can be a breaking point for the Predators on the season that would turn into a rollercoaster afterwards. They’d tailspin into mediocrity in November, and are still trying to recover from being on the playoff bubble.

If and when the season picks back up, the Predators seem to finally be playing more consistently, but this game was a turning point into the wrong direction.
