Nashville Predators 2, Tampa Bay Lightning 3 (OT) - Saros stands tall, but the offense and penalties lead to OT loss

“We have two great goaltenders, but he’s [Juuse Saros] standing on his head right now”
Nino Neiderreiter after Saturday’s 3-2 overtime loss

After a relatively rough start to the 2022-23 season, Juuse Saros has started to round into form and the goaltending battle between the Predators’ netminder and the great Andrei Vasilevskiy of Tampa Bay was worth the price of admission Saturday night as the Nashville Predators fell in overtime to the Lightning 3-2.

The game started quickly once again, after an extended pregame ceremony for Hockey Fights Cancer Night, Filip Forsberg had no trouble finding the back of the net just under two minutes into the contest.
