It was a goalie duel in the Saddledome tonight, as Juuse Saros and Dustin Wolf both kept the slate blank for the first two periods despite several impressive chances. The breakthrough came well into the third, as Saros allowed the goal and Wolf skated off with a career-first NHL shutout.
The Flames got an opportunity early when Brady Skjei took a roughing penalty at just 1:43, but although they sent all kinds of rubber towards Saros, he held on. The Preds pushed back after that, getting some good looks and earning a penalty of their own when Jonathan Huberdeau cross-checked Roman Josi.
