The Nashville Predators kicked off 2024 with a home win against Connor Bedard and the Chicago Blackhawks last night. On today's Locked On Predators, we recap the game including our "one word" to describe the 3-0 win. Juuse Saros earned his second shutout of the season in a game that was challenging for the goaltender in an unusual way, and Gustav Nyquist extended his point streak with another multi-point game. We break down what was working so well for the top line against Chicago. The Predators were able to do something in last night's game that only two other teams have done all season — we'll tell you what that was. Finally, we have a "Western Conference Wednesday" discussion. With the season nearly halfway over, Nick and Ann share their pick to win the Western Conference and debate who might play spoiler in the playoffs.
