The Nashville Predators sit at an underwhelming 6-6-3 at this early point in the season, coming off a sorely disappointing 6-2 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs Tuesday night. The defeat snapped a six-game point streak and sent fans into a frenzy about what’s working and what’s failing to come together for the team’s play.
Backup goaltender Marek Mazanec drew the bulk of the heat, and arguably deservedly so for holding an abhorrent 5.45 GAA and .809 save percentage at the NHL level this season- but it became easy to get lost in arguments of what should be done between the pipes and forget about what is continuing to work for the team.
