After the Nashville Predators got a 2-0 shutout against the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday night, the team was riding high, and found themselves on a two game win streak (the team has not won more than two games in a row this season).
As great as it was to see Pekka Rinne get the 59th shutout of his career, the team was humbled on Thursday night in a 5-2 loss that didn’t have to get as ugly as it did.
