Nashville Predators 4, Montreal Canadiens 2: Saros Leads the Way to Two Points in Montreal
The Preds stormed into Montreal, turtled a bit, but ultimately grabbed a win. Juuse Saros is our hero.
Tonight’s game recap is another set of observations... leave your thoughts and Shea Love below.

- I miss you, Shea.
- Calle Jarnkrok gets a partial breakaway, but he’s stopped by Carey Price.
- Wow, Matt Duchene draws a penalty early.
- Another big save by Price on Viktor Arvidsson.
- Why is it always Country Music Night when the Predators visit other arenas?

- 20 mins, 20 grins. 20 miles, 20 smiles.
