The Nashville Predators lost in a shootout to Elias Pettersson and the Vancouver Canucks, but there were plenty of bright spots in the 4-3 loss. Luke Evangelista scored his first - and second - NHL goals in just his fourth NHL game helping the Predators earn a point as they continue their unlikely wildcard chase. Tyson Barrie arrived in Nashville via the Mattias Ekholm trade, and we talk about what we've seen from this veteran defenseman so far.

The Predators played their third game on a six game road trip last night against the Vancouver Canucks, and while Nashville couldn't come away with two points, the Milwaukee Admirals-esque team did plenty to be pleased with. On today's Locked On Predators we recap last night's action including our "one word" to describe the game. We discuss the performance of 21 year old Luke Evangelista and how his game has made the leap from the AHL to an early and impressive NHL level. We also take a look at another of Nashville's new additions - veteran Tyson Barrie. Has Barrie's value been overlooked in the Ekholm trade? And we talk tanking. Should the Nashville Predators take their foot off the gas just a little to improve their draft odds? We have an emphatic discussion about that theory on today's Locked On predators podcast.
