A short week deserves a short recap.
The Fast Money Round
Thursday: Dallas Stars 2, Predators 0
Shot quantity > shot quality in this one. Kari Lehtonen hasn’t been good against the Predators, but Nashville’s unwillingness to shoot in high-danger areas helped him shut them out. Put another way: the Preds lost to a (bleeping) horse(bleep) team.
Saturday: New York Rangers 4, Predators 3
Goals were scored. They were even scored on the power play. But the defense couldn’t hold a lead and that should be a hallmark of this team. But then again, this team doesn’t have a hallmark right now.
Player of the Week
Hi, Kevin Fiala. Here’s to more three-point games in your future. Too bad your first one was in vain.
