The #Preds figured out a way to tie their series with the Canucks and are coming home to Nashville! @Emma_Lingan @MGSports_ and Braden Gall recap Game 2 and preview Game 3 #NHLPlayoffs twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

From last night: if the #Preds are to advance in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, they’re going to need a lot more of Game 2 Juuse Saros

“It’s just incredible the way he prepares and stays focused in there and never quits on a play” ⬇️

For the late-night crowd: Tuesday’s Game 2 performance was exactly what the #Preds needed from Juuse Saros, who showed up in a big way when Nashville needed him most ⬇️

From the sad but true department 👇

The #Preds are about to win a playoff game with just 14 shots on goal

They also went 20 minutes between their 12th and 13th SOG

Unreal series of saves here by Saros

“Eh, Juuse probably has it” is a dangerous way to play with a two-goal lead in the third period

Didn’t realize earlier just how close Cole Smith came to taking a skate blade to the face. Glad to see he was unscathed

The biggest story this series is the #Preds underwhelming defensive-zone play

Vancouver’s speed and tenacity wears opponents down, and it’s what’s made Nashville make some glaring mistakes in front of Saros

Yet another Vancouver goal courtesy of a screen in front of Saros. Carrier has to clear the sight line for his goalie. Big mistake there

I’ll continue to say it: Colton Sissons is one of the more underrated players in the NHL

Vintage Forsberg

Can we stop freaking out about Filip Forsberg now?

To this point: Filip Forsberg has scored more playoff goals and points than any other skater in #Preds history

#Canucks with just 4 shots on goal but had another 10 blocked

1st period on-ice shot attempts against per defensive pairing:

• Lauzon/Carrier 7
• McDonagh/Josi 5
• Stastney/Schenn 4
• Lauzon/McDonagh 3
• Stastney/Carrier 2
• McDonagh/Carrier 1
• McDonagh/Schenn 1

Several #Preds players talked about playing with desperation in Game 2. After all these PKs, I think they might be a tad overzealous

Here was that Saros save. Quick reaction to deny Pius Suter

What a save by Saros. That net was wide open
