Nashville was tied 2-2 with the Hurricanes heading into the third period, but then gave up three goals and lost 5-2 in Game 1. The Predators know they have to play a full 60 minutes of playoff-caliber hockey and Juuse Saros is capable of bouncing back after stopping 33 of 38 shots. Saros has a 2.33 goals-against average on the season and was the winner in a 3-1 victory over Carolina on May 8 and the Predators defeated Carolina the last two meetings of the regular season. Nashville is 9-1 its past 10 games after scoring two or fewer goals its previous game and 10-1 vs. an opponent that gave up two or fewer goals its previous game. Also, Nashville has won eight of 10 after losing by at least three goals. Play the Predators on the puck line - Max Play.
