The Nashville Predators and Dallas Stars faced off tonight at the Tire Barn, both fighting foir position in the Central Division standings.
The Preds got out to a good start, getting both the zone time and the pressure they needed but not converting. They had a fantastic chance when Mikael Granlund intercepted a clearing attempt and Stars goalie Jake Oettinger ended up way out of his net, but Esa Lindell managed a sliding block to keep Luke Kunin from tapping Granlund’s pass into the empty net.
Juuse Saros’s workload was lighter than Oettinger’s, but he stayed alert and responded well when tested.
