The Nashville Predators welcomed the Minnesota Wild to Bridgestone Arena last night, and the Preds walked away with a win and two very valuable central division points. On today's Locked On Predators, we have your complete game recap including our "one word" to describe the 2-1 win last night. A lot went well for the Nashville Predators, and Nick and Ann highlight the improvements the Preds have made in the last two games to be able to get the wins. The penalty kill was tested against the Wild's impressive power play - we break down what the Preds are doing on the kill that is bringing success against some of the top power play units. We discuss Ryan Johansen and Matt Duchene's performances and why a line of Niederreiter, Duchene, and Johansen may be working well since John Hynes put them together. Finally, we take a look at last night's "vintage Saros" show in net. After an early season of struggle, is the Juuse Saros of last season back? We'll tell you what we think fans can expect to see from Saros moving forward.
