Filip Forsberg, Roman Josi, and the Nashville Predators took the ice at Bridgestone Arena for the first home playoff game in two years against JT Miller, Brock Boeser, and the Vancouver Canucks. While Nashville controlled much of the game at five on five, it was special teams that helped Vancouver get the road win in Game 3. On a special Saturday postgame Locked On Predators episode, Emma Lingan of The Hockey News joins us to talk about the 2-1 game. We recap the loss including our "one word" to describe the game. We take a closer look at what went wrong on special teams for the Predators and discuss why the missed opportunities for Nashville weren't just about quantity but about game changing quality. The Predators lost one of their young defenders in last night's game. We debate what comes next for the blue line if Spencer Stastney can't return. Finally, we look ahead to tomorrow' s Game 4. What do the Predators need to do in a game that at least feels a little "must win"?

The Nashville Predators returned home yesterday afternoon from games 1 & 2 against the Vancouver Canucks on the road. On today's Locked On Predators podcast, we take a closer look at the beginning of this first round series against JT Miller, Quinn Hughes, and the Canucks with a special mid week plus/minus. We take a closer look at two stats that have us concerned - puck possession and shots on goal and discuss what could potentially change those numbers in the Predators favor in games 3 & 4 this weekend. Canucks goaltender Thatcher Demko is reportedly week to week with a knee injury. Does his absence affect what the Predators do going forward or will missing their starting goaltender cause more issues for the Canucks? Finally we share what we learned going down the Juuse Saros "double cup" rabbit hole.

The Nashville Predators faced off against JT Miller, Quinn Hughes and the Vancouver Canucks for game 2 of their Stanley Cup playoff series last night. While it may not have been pretty, Juuse Saros, Filip Forsberg and the Predators held on to get a 4-1 win and even the series. On today's Locked On Predators we recap last night's game including our "One word" to describe the game. Despite the loss of Canucks goaltender Thatcher Demko ahead of game 2, it was Juuse Saros who earned much of the attention especially for his play in a tough third period for the Predators. We break down the statistics and hear from head coach Andrew Brunette on how Nashville was able to withstand Vancouver's pressure in the last twenty minutes. The Predators got big goals in the second period that helped win the game. What did Filip Forsberg, Anthony Beauviller, and Colton Sissons do that needs repeating in games 3 & 4 at Bridgestone Arena? Finally, we give a shout out to one area of Nashville's game that hasn't always earned kudos this season and look ahead to the party headed to Smashville this weekend.
