The Nashville Predators fall to 1-1-0 after losing Saturday night’s matchup against the Blackhawks 5-3. The game marked the first win of the season for Chicago, moving the division rival to a 1-2-0 record.
The story of the game resided in the nets at either end of the ice, where Nashville Predators backup goaltender Marek Mazanec played opposite of Hawk’s backup Scott Darling. Mazanec held a .908 save percentage through 27 career appearances coming into the night, but managed to crack under fire immediately into the 2016-17 season, surrendering 3 goals on 5 shots within the first 11 minutes of action.
