The Nashville Predators had no time to celebrate their 4-1 victory over the Florida Panthers on Monday; the Dallas Stars had defeated the Carolina Hurricanes on the same night, which put all of the pressure right back on the boys in gold as they battled the Panthers again on Tuesday. The meeting with Dallas in Music City on Friday loomed large, but Nashville needed every point it could get; that started with a win against Florida. Nashville rolled with the same lines as Mondays’ game, and Juuse Saros started in goal for the second night in a row, but the Predators fell to the Panthers in a high-scoring game, 7-4.
