Nashville Predators 1, Chicago Blackhawks 2 (OT): Preds Grab a Point in the Windy City
The Preds take a point in overtime and head home to Nashville to face Columbus tomorrow night.
Tonight’s recap is going to be observation-style.
- Welcome back, Ryan Ellis.
- Ticking closer to Monday’s trade deadline...
- Early power plays for Chicago are not a good thing.
- Pekka Rinne has been very good early on the penalty kill.
- Patrick Kane is such an effortless guy. Incredible skill, yet not very much loved by the Predators. [Ed.: Or anyone.]
- Oh Pekka, what ya doing?
- A penalty shot? Seriously?
- Stuffed by Pekka.
- Stop taking penalties.
- JoFA is reunited. Does it feel good? Ask me later.
- A very good defensive recovery by Mattias Ekholm. I like it a lot.
- Duncan Keith actually throws Kyle Turris to the ice...Nashville power play.
- Mattias Ekholm makes it 1-0 for Nashville! When Ekholm joins the rush, good things often happen. He has a wicked wrist shot that’s under-used and under appreciated.
- Arvi Hustle=another power play for Nashville.
- Another penalty to Duncan Keith. Not sure why that wasn’t a penalty shot...the stick poke from Filip Forsberg on Brandon Saad was way less blatant.
- 20 miles, 20 smiles.
- Does Colin Blackwell have tape on his skates? He’s wiped out a ton tonight.
- So many penalties.
- What a save, Pekka Rinne!!!!
- OMG PEKKA AGAIN
- After video review, no goal.
- But the Hawks tie it up anyway...from Alex DeBrincat.
- HOLY PEKKA RINNE
- Ryan Ellis really hasn’t missed a beat tonight.
- Breathe. To overtime we go.
- Chicago takes two points in OT, Nashville will secure one point. /

I mean, at some point along the way you need your big money forwards who get paid to produce to step up and actually bear down and produce. At what point is that going to happen?
