NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Juuse Saros denied the Detroit Red Wings almost till the end.
Saros made 28 saves Tuesday at Bridgestone Arena to lift the Nashville Predators to a 2-1 victory. The Wings didn't help their cause with five penalties, including one on Jake Walman with 8:11 to play and the Wings trailing by two goals. The Predators have the 25th-ranked power play in the NHL, but as ineffective as it is, skating ruts to the box disrupted the Wings' flow.
Their own power play didn't convert until there was 2:16 left in the game, when they pulled Ville Husso to have a two-skater advantage.
