Preds Beat Sharks for Third Straight Win

Rinne Blanks Blackhawks 2 to 0

Especially Weber who laid the lumber on Kane and anoth... Read More »

Predators Special Teams Play Top Wild 4 to 3

Good road game by the Predators. Got timely scoring and good goal tending (except for that 2 minute blip in the 2nd period). Heck the Preds even got another powerplay goal and a shorty. The Preds finished this 5 game road trip with a 2-2-1 record. Game Notables: Smithson (A+) - When your fourth line grinder gets the game winning, short handed goal you deserve an A. He had only 1 shot, b... Read More »
