Command Analysis
Nashvillecontinue their home series, which started quite successfully. The team faced Seattle and managed to snatch a victory in a shootout (2:1 SO). The success was achieved thanks to the excellent performance of goaltender Saros, who saved 96% of shots. However, the team couldn't build on that success and suffered a crushing defeat to the Kraken in the reverse fixture (2:7). This time, Saros could not help the Predators avoid defeat, moreover, the attacking line of Nashville had a poor game.
