Predators respond after brutal collapse two days before
Great teams have to know how to flip the page and not let it happen again. The Predators were up against some enormous pressure in the rubber match of a three-game set with the Chicago Blackhawks, and this Friday night matchup was crucial.
The Predators had just blown a 4-1 lead in the third period to the Blackhawks just two days before to suffer their first loss of the season in the series. Fans were already freaking out that the Predators were screw it up again on Friday.
It wasn’t the most exciting win, but it was definitely one of the most important. It essentially pushed the Blackhawks pretty far out of playoff contention, and the Predators just simply took care of business.
It was a commendable defensive effort for the Predators as they held Chicago to under 30 shots on goal and committed just one penalty to help protect their goaltender.
This win closed out the season series with the Blachawks as the Predators went 7-0-1 against them. Too bad they couldn’t have held strong and went 8-for-8, but we’ll take 15 of 16 possible points in the series nonetheless.
