00:00:09Hi, everybody. I'm James Cebulski for EA Sports. Great night for Hockey tonight as we feature an Eastern Conference versus
00:00:16Western Conference matchup.
00:00:20Two teams looking starved for a win. And we are set to go.
00:00:26The Predators start with possession as we are now underway.
00:00:32The Bears look to start the transition game.
00:00:35They can the offensive zone from the middle. And the puck banks off the glove.
00:00:40I would have lost the puck three times by the time that I'd been handled like that by the coverage.
00:00:44I mean, but he does it. He just knows how to move and maneuver his body around the puck.
00:00:49He can shield it and he maintains possession for a great shot on net.
00:00:52Nationals got the puck after winning the defensive zone faceoff.
00:00:57Exploring options here inside the defensive zone.
00:01:03And he was ready for that save.
00:01:07Slides the puck over to Curzio.
00:01:11Quick pass to Pahal.
00:01:14St. Petersburg's got it in their own zone.
00:01:17Can't keep a hold of it after that hit.
00:01:20They're going to keep things moving here.
00:01:23Nashville's on the attack.
00:01:25Circles back to Santa Rice.
00:01:29And now it's played by Prudence.
00:01:32Sends the team in touch.
00:01:34Oh, he comes up with a stop.
00:01:38The Bears scooping up along the boards.
00:01:40Now over to Glenn Denny.
00:01:43I'm going to guess that he's going to look to drive the net and shoot the puck getting on his
00:01:47one goal away from his next milestone.
00:01:49Good fight for the puck along the boards.
00:01:52The Predators have it now.
00:01:56Loses the coverage there.
00:01:58Takes the shot.
00:01:59And the lane's blocked up blocking that.
00:02:02Takes the wrist shot.
00:02:04Scores!
00:02:05And look at that!
00:02:06They are quickly on the board and the crowd is going, what happened?
00:02:11Well, if only it started that way all the time.
00:02:13Exactly the way the coach would have drawn it up.
00:02:15But you certainly want to dictate pace when you are on the road and you want to take the crowd
00:02:19out of it early.
00:02:21Well, the goaltender, you get the big piece of this shot here, James.
00:02:24He's got to make their save.
00:02:25Unfortunately, it trickles in.
00:02:26He's not going to like it.
00:02:28He'll want that one back.
00:02:41Nashville's got to be pleased with the way they've started tonight.
00:02:44Look at this.
00:02:44Already the first goal of the game and just try to take that crowd out of it.
00:02:48Well, yeah, and that's exactly what they've done.
00:02:50And that would have been the message from the coach earlier today, James,
00:02:53because you want to make sure that you set the tone.
00:02:56You control the pace of play and you find a way to get on the board first.
00:03:02Quick feed to Stamkos.
00:03:05It goes to the page!
00:03:06Oh, it keeps it out of the net as it goes!
00:03:09Off the glove!
00:03:11O'Reilly's been so dialed in and confident, James, in particular in the offensive end.
00:03:15I mean, his puck touches are off the charts.
00:03:17He wants it, he trusts his skill set, and he's taking it to the net.
00:03:24Get off the draw, they'll take possession.
00:03:27St. Petersburg's got it in their own zone.
00:03:33Picked up along the boards by Carrick.
00:03:35Moves it to Burroughs.
00:03:37Stamps into it!
00:03:38And the traffic jam in front blocks the shot.
00:03:42Shakes off the defender with some nifty moves.
00:03:45They put the puck into the offensive end.
00:03:49Both sides digging in for that puck along the wall.
00:03:56National's got the puck inside the defensive zone.
00:04:00Sends it over to Stamkos.
00:04:03Puck scooped up by Kapanen.
00:04:08And he takes the beam.
00:04:10Oh, and he somehow got a little piece of it.
00:04:14And it stays out of the net.
00:04:17Goes right to the crease!
00:04:18Oh, it's to May by Morasic!
00:04:20I really like to save James because he challenges the shooter
00:04:24who's all alone in the slot area.
00:04:26He turns aside a real dangerous opportunity.
00:04:33Getting closer to the halfway point of this frame.
00:04:37Nashville's up, one zip.
00:04:41Stenlund's won the draw there on the attack.
00:04:45Picked up along the wall by Smith.
00:04:49St. Petersburg's at the line.
00:04:53Ruggie saving by Soros.
00:04:57Takes the feed at the point.
00:04:59Pre-directed off a stick.
00:05:01Taking it out of the wall by Smith.
00:05:03Moosey kicking over to Fulbright.
00:05:05Germany bodies in the way.
00:05:07St. Petersburg's got possession of the puck.
00:05:10Score!
00:05:11And they finish it on the rebound.
00:05:14What a call!
00:05:20Well, these are what we call tenacious goals.
00:05:23And you have to have a certain mentality to want to get to the dirty areas on the ice.
00:05:27You know that his coach will like this one as he fights for that rebound and buries it.
00:05:44The Bears get it back to even Steven here in period number one.
00:05:47Yeah, and halfway through the period, you know, they find their legs.
00:05:50You can certainly tell that they've found their mojo a little bit here.
00:05:53And they're able to get on the board.
00:05:55You've got to trust the process in these games.
00:05:56If you can play consistent, you'll get your high looks.
00:06:01Ben's got the puck and it sounds like he might be the city's most wanted man right now.
00:06:06Oh, he's wanted after causing that injury last game, James.
00:06:10And beyond the mean rival opponents, you never like to see that kind of play.
00:06:14O'Brien's moving it ahead.
00:06:16Fires it on net.
00:06:18And he had an answer with that save.
00:06:22And he takes the feed.
00:06:25Oh, look at this chance.
00:06:27There's a shot.
00:06:28Denies the clapper.
00:06:31In front and a stoppage on the play as the goaltender covers things up.
00:06:37Still lots of time left in the period.
00:06:40We've got a tie game.
00:06:46The Predators will start off on the attack after winning the draw.
00:06:50Morazic's object to hang on to the puck for a faceoff.
00:06:56Play set to resume with the faceoff ready to go.
00:07:04Puck is dropped and he wins the draw here in the defensive zone.
00:07:09And he takes the pass.
00:07:11Here's a chance.
00:07:13Gets in front of him.
00:07:15Yossi's got it in the defensive end.
00:07:18Fires it.
00:07:19Turns it away.
00:07:21He decides not to cover him up and sends it away.
00:07:25Here's a short pass to Oval Crivell.
00:07:28Takes a shot.
00:07:29With the stop.
00:07:33Yossi's moving the puck through his own zone.
00:07:35Poked away by Struble.
00:07:38Quick pass to Jost.
00:07:39And Jost got a piece of it to keep it out.
00:07:43Goaltender covers up and will get a faceoff.
00:07:48Well past the midway mark of this period.
00:07:51We are all tied up in this one.
00:07:56Stenland's quick stick off the draw wins possession.
00:08:00Clothes the puck.
00:08:02Quick feed to Stenland.
00:08:04From the point they take control of it.
00:08:08With authority.
00:08:11Point to point pass.
00:08:13Denied by the goaltender.
00:08:15Taro stops the puck and redirects it to the corner.
00:08:19Jumps down.
00:08:20Stepping out of the crease now to play the puck.
00:08:24St. Petersburg's across the blue line.
00:08:27A spirited battle along the boards for the puck.
00:08:33Puck hops out of the offensive zone.
00:08:35And they'll be forced to do it over from center.
00:08:38Scooped up along the wall by Lazard.
00:08:41We've got a penalty coming up here on the play.
00:08:44There's the whistle.
00:08:45And here's the call.
00:08:47It is off to the sitting bin for cross-checking.
00:08:50No, this is such an obvious call for the official undisciplined.
00:08:54Once the arms extend, you're gonna get the cross-checking call.
00:09:05Well, this gives us our first chance to take a look at the team's power play unit.
00:09:09Well, they've earned their first power play of the game.
00:09:12A tone set on right here and an opportunity to look at the coverage on the setting.
00:09:17Takes the shot.
00:09:19Oh, the mask kicked out that way.
00:09:22I don't think he had time to get his head out of the way, and that one hits his mask.
00:09:25You've got to give it to the quality of masks nowadays.
00:09:28If that happened a few years ago, ooh, that would hurt even more.
00:09:31And he gets in front of that one.
00:09:33Well, it didn't something go there.
00:09:34And if you want to be on a PK, you've got to make sure that you get to go shooting
00:09:37length hard and fast.
00:09:41Takes it to the front.
00:09:42A rocker off the blocker.
00:09:45From the blue line, they take control of it.
00:09:47And that's blocked.
00:09:51Streaking through center, they go on the attack.
00:09:54Looking to make something happen in the offensive zone.
00:09:57And that shot goes nowhere as the lane was filled.
00:10:02Takes the feed.
00:10:04Takes it over.
00:10:06Standing tall with the save.
00:10:08All sorts of pressure trying to get it out.
00:10:14St. Petersburg's got the puck now.
00:10:17Cabri's taking it from his own end.
00:10:23Takes the feed in the middle of the neutral zone.
00:10:29St. Petersburg's got the puck along the wall.
00:10:35There's the whistle icing the call.
00:10:37Big face off looming.
00:10:43Stedlin's looking to win this draw on this man advantage here.
00:10:52St. Petersburg's got it in the defensive zone.
00:10:56Moussa to Obey Kubel.
00:11:00Slides the puck over.
00:11:02Now a quick pass to D'Angelo.
00:11:08Snaps it on net.
00:11:09Gives some nothing in front.
00:11:11St. Petersburg's got it coming over.
00:11:14Don't forget it.
00:11:15Well I love what he's trying to do here, James.
00:11:17He wants to separate the body from puck.
00:11:19And that's exactly what you gotta do.
00:11:21You gotta play with a competitive edge and an intensity.
00:11:30Carrick's at the face off dot ready to win this draw on the man advantage.
00:11:39Play results as they win the draw here inside the offensive zone.
00:11:44Too much congestion in front.
00:11:47What is that a save by Celis?
00:11:49Well you don't make the save if you're not dialed in and focused.
00:11:52That's exactly what he is.
00:11:53He's following the puck and just makes that save.
00:11:56It's incredible really.
00:11:57You could try to be athletic to be able to react that quickly.
00:12:03Curve.
00:12:04Almost ready to get back on the ice.
00:12:06Feeds it over to a Parchalista.
00:12:10Puck dunked in.
00:12:11The Predators manage the damage control.
00:12:14They are still tied as they're back to even strength.
00:12:17Especially teams are so huge in any game, James.
00:12:20Especially when it's tied.
00:12:21You don't want to fall behind.
00:12:22And have discipline really be a factor in the game.
00:12:25Slides it across.
00:12:28Bastering shot.
00:12:30Stops it.
00:12:32Fees it across the ice to perfect.
00:12:36And now he tries to get it across to a Parchalista.
00:12:40The Bears have a hold of it in the defensive zone.
00:12:44And now he angles it across to Struble.
00:12:47Get it! Get it! Get it!
00:12:48And the puck skips out of the zone.
00:12:50They'll be forced to tag up.
00:12:54Put it in the slot!
00:12:55Oh, he kicked it out!
00:12:56I can't believe it!
00:12:58I feel like he ain't taking no for an answer there, James, right?
00:13:01I mean, he's throwing everything at him.
00:13:03Desperation to keep that puck out of the net.
00:13:06That has got to give his team a real push right now.
00:13:09Quick feed to Forsberg.
00:13:11Here they come on the attack.
00:13:14Here's a shot!
00:13:15Great call tender hangs on for the whistle.
00:13:20Oh, we're gonna have to check that one out again.
00:13:23It was just spectacular, James.
00:13:25When you're out competing your opponent, you're dialed in.
00:13:27You're so athletic, you make those kind of saves.
00:13:45Here in the late goings of the period, the next goal could be a big one as we are tied.
00:13:56And Bryan's won the draw deep in the defensive zone.
00:14:01Inside the offensive end, now down the left.
00:14:04And that stays over as he got just enough of the puck with the glove.
00:14:08And play continues.
00:14:10Musa takes it over to the side.
00:14:13Takes the feed.
00:14:15Just gets up, enough to keep it out.
00:14:18Goaltender covers up.
00:14:19We're gonna stop at your play.
00:14:23Officials have got both teams ready, and it looks like play is set to resume here.
00:14:29The Predators win it in the defensive zone.
00:14:33Here's a short pass to Jost.
00:14:36And nearing the final 60 seconds of this opening stanza.
00:14:41Quick pass over to Pahal.
00:14:43Pass across to Baskin.
00:14:45And he slides it quickly to Fabry.
00:14:51Nashville's got a hold of it along the wall.
00:14:53Slies it over to Frank.
00:14:56St. Petersburg's got it in the neutral zone.
00:14:59Oh, great move to sidestep the check.
00:15:03And he totally whiffs on that one.
00:15:06Oh, and comes up with nothing on the play.
00:15:09And with that, the first period is in the books.
00:15:12Both teams with a chance and a refresh will get a clean sheet of ice,
00:15:15and come back with period number two.
00:15:17Are you ready for a walk down memory lane?
00:15:19It is time to sign up for a ASB team.
00:15:22Play hockey with John Lennon here.
00:15:24These are the part of the week for the preparation.
00:15:26Call us for details, or give you attention to the team website.
00:15:30What?
00:15:35Let's get into that play.
00:15:39Let's begin.
00:15:45I want to know.
00:15:47Let's get to the end of the week for the season.
00:15:47Let's go, cần!
00:15:49We got to the end of the season.
00:15:54Hey, guys.
00:15:56We'll get to the end of the night.
00:15:56Let's go, peg.
00:18:53And we are just moments away from the start of period number two.
00:19:00Looking for that go-ahead goal here as the play is underway in the second.
00:19:04All right, sure, we've seen already one period play from this one.
00:19:08How do you assess this?
00:19:09That's fortunate.
00:19:10We're still in the early stages of this period.
00:19:53It's all tied up.
00:19:54We're still in front.
00:19:55Well, and this has been trending to happen, James.
00:19:58They've been closing on the park with me since an upward trajectory as this game's progressed
00:20:02and they find the back of the net.
00:20:05Well, this is just a laser of a shot that beats the goaltender clean, and everyone knew it was coming,
00:20:10including the goaltender.
00:20:11They just couldn't catch up to it.
00:20:13They just couldn't catch up to it.
00:20:30The Bears have gone in front by one here in the second period.
00:20:34Yeah, and it certainly changes the mindset when you're ahead by one in a very close deadlock game, James.
00:20:39Now they've got to push the pace with the pedal to the metal and try and figure out a way
00:20:42to cash in again.
00:20:44Nashville's got the puck along the boards.
00:20:47The Predators have it now.
00:20:52And they send it right back to him.
00:20:55Into the offensive zone, down the right wing.
00:20:58Puts it on net, makes the save.
00:21:01The Bears move the puck in the defensive zone.
00:21:04Stones him in front.
00:21:06Threw center along the wing.
00:21:12The Predators gain possession in their own end.
00:21:16Good use of the body to knock him off the puck.
00:21:19Grabbed along the boards by Shea.
00:21:23St. Petersburg's got the puck in the defensive end.
00:21:26Nice speed from the left side up the middle.
00:21:32The Predators get a hold of the puck along the boards.
00:21:36Eventually, it's just getting momentum.
00:21:38Throws it in.
00:21:40Picked up along the boards by Joseph.
00:21:45Stenland stick-handling in his own zone.
00:21:48And he loses control here.
00:21:50And the pass is redirected.
00:21:53Woods got him along the way.
00:21:57To the middle!
00:21:58And he demise that great opportunity there.
00:22:06Here's a shot from a tough position.
00:22:09Saros freezes the puck and opts for the whistle.
00:22:16St. Petersburg's lead here in the second period,
00:22:18a direct result of being the more aggressive team offensively.
00:22:25Stamlitz won the draw, now look to set up.
00:22:28Lays the body.
00:22:31Quick pass to Stamlitz.
00:22:33On-man rush.
00:22:35And that's blocked away.
00:22:37Passes the puck over to Smith.
00:22:40Through the neutral zone up along the wing.
00:22:42Shot and makes the save.
00:22:45Covers it up.
00:22:46We'll get a stoppage in play.
00:22:50Nearing the midway mark of the period.
00:22:53It's a 2-1 game.
00:23:00And Bryan's got it.
00:23:02Now they'll look to see what they can do with it offensively.
00:23:06Receives the pass.
00:23:08Saros has the puck and holds on for a whistle.
00:23:14Moments away from the faceoff.
00:23:16Let's get back to the action.
00:23:21And they take possession after the defense and zone faceoff.
00:23:25Nashville's got a hold of the puck.
00:23:27Here they are on the attack.
00:23:29Pass it away from the crease.
00:23:33And they continue to break for that puck along the wall.
00:23:36Nashville's got a hold of it against the wall.
00:23:38Let's go!
00:23:39Let's go!
00:23:45Grabbed along the board by Haig.
00:23:48The Predators will play it in their own end.
00:23:51Quick shot!
00:23:52That's on the stick.
00:23:54The Bears gave control of the puck.
00:23:56Nashville's got it now.
00:23:58Makes a save.
00:24:01Bastion's got the puck in his own zone.
00:24:03And now he moves it to D'Angelo.
00:24:07Shot!
00:24:08Comes up with a stop.
00:24:11Nashville's looking to break out.
00:24:13Puck grabbed by Haig.
00:24:17Tries it to the crease.
00:24:19Gets a piece of it to make the save.
00:24:22Well, he makes an incredible save on a point-flank shot here, James.
00:24:25I love the way he's aggressive.
00:24:27He's competitive and he wins the battle.
00:24:29Muffs the shot attempt.
00:24:31And that's intercepted by Ben.
00:24:34Picked up along the wall by Perfex.
00:24:37He to the middle!
00:24:38And that's intercepted!
00:24:42Cartier's swooping in on the attack.
00:24:44And a foul!
00:24:45And cut the head out of the back!
00:24:47Ref blows the whistle as the puck's covered up.
00:24:52St. Petersburg's got the decided edge in the shot department here tonight in the second period, and they continue to
00:24:58lead.
00:25:01Nashville has won the face-off deep in their own end.
00:25:04Passes on over to Neifest.
00:25:08Moser-Randy on the half-line.
00:25:10And that's a smart heads-up play by Koppany.
00:25:13Graves control of it in the front.
00:25:15They score!
00:25:17And we're all tied up!
00:25:19Yeah, we are, James.
00:25:20And you can certainly feel them coming, couldn't you?
00:25:22Yeah, I mean, the energy was starting to shift.
00:25:23And they get rewarded with that goal.
00:25:26I love that he's gonna show up on the score sheet for this one here, James.
00:25:29Because it's a great defensive effort with the poke check that leads to the goal.
00:25:33And you can certainly tell that the entire bench, including the coach, is happy with this one.
00:25:52More than half the period has expired.
00:25:55You can feel the energy in this crowd.
00:25:57It's a tie game.
00:26:00St. Petersburg's got possession of the puck after that neutral zone face-off.
00:26:06The Bears take possession here in the open ice.
00:26:09And it's a quick pass to Barron.
00:26:12Sends the pass down low.
00:26:16Quick feed to Koppany.
00:26:18Great save on the one-timer!
00:26:21Through the neutral zone, moving the puck along the side.
00:26:25Sends it in deep.
00:26:27Burrows works the puck in his own zone.
00:26:31St. Petersburg trying to go on the attack.
00:26:36Nashville's got a hold of the puck now.
00:26:39Back to the blue line.
00:26:43Burrows dangles along the line.
00:26:46Smith's looking around to the point.
00:26:49Tremendous reflexes as he makes the one-timer save!
00:26:53Drills him!
00:26:55Sends one across!
00:26:58Takes the feed at center and moves up ahead.
00:27:01Pass to the front!
00:27:03Answers the call big time!
00:27:05What a stop by Sarris!
00:27:07That's a fantastic save by the goaltender,
00:27:10but his team has to do a better job of protecting the middle of the ice.
00:27:13Those high-danger scoring chances eventually go in.
00:27:18O'Reilly's won a big draw on their own end.
00:27:21Takes the pass!
00:27:23St. Petersburg's got possession here in the neutral zone.
00:27:30Can't maintain possession after that hit.
00:27:34Slides it back to the blue line.
00:27:39Sarris has got the puck from the back down.
00:27:41Back time stop there!
00:27:43Sarris gives a good save and redirects the puck to the corner
00:27:46and this cleans up the front of the net
00:27:48and really no trash for second shot opportunity.
00:27:51Shuts him down!
00:27:53Sarris has been constant and consistent in the net tonight for his team, James,
00:27:57and they've had an opportunity to build momentum off multiple saves.
00:28:00I mean, the volume of shots he's seen, he needs a rest.
00:28:04I mean, his face is red.
00:28:07Here's a shot!
00:28:08Stop by the goaltender!
00:28:11There's the whistle as the puck stopper likes to hang on.
00:28:16Here in the lake going to the frame.
00:28:19We've got a tie game.
00:28:23Offense is on face off and he wins the draw.
00:28:27Moose it to Glenn Denny.
00:28:28Blast from the front line!
00:28:30What a save!
00:28:31He'll probably field that one tomorrow!
00:28:34The Predators play it around the birds.
00:28:38Jocelyn to the puck, he loses control.
00:28:41Passing through it!
00:28:43Oh, and he keeps it here!
00:28:46Sends a pass over.
00:28:48For the point!
00:28:50Time to save and a howitzer!
00:28:52Goaltender covers it up and we'll get a reset here.
00:28:57Looks like lineups are set.
00:28:59They're ready to get things back underway.
00:29:04The Bears win that offensive zone face off.
00:29:10It's the shot!
00:29:11It's the shot!
00:29:11That's it!
00:29:12Get a stop!
00:29:13Turns it out of the wall, finds one!
00:29:16Moose it quickly over to Liddell!
00:29:18Passes it to Hague!
00:29:21Through the middle of the ice, they enter the attacking zone!
00:29:24Shot!
00:29:25Stopped by the goaltender!
00:29:26He does a great job of reading the defender's stick here.
00:29:30James, he knows exactly how to create a little time and space and he takes it.
00:29:34With possession along the wall!
00:29:36Denies him!
00:29:38Goaltender covers it up, we get a whistle to slow things down.
00:29:52Nashville's won the defensive zone drop!
00:29:57Poked away in the neutral zone!
00:30:00Down the left wing and into the offensive zone!
00:30:05High speed from the boards!
00:30:08St. Petersburg's got it on the line!
00:30:12Nearing the point!
00:30:15Handles the pass!
00:30:17Here's a short pass to Strudel!
00:30:21Takes the feet at the back end!
00:30:2457 seconds left!
00:30:26Turned over on the rack around!
00:30:28Oh, what a great reactionary stop there!
00:30:31Reactionary is right, James.
00:30:32He knew exactly where the shooter was going and a strong push across to be able to make that save.
00:30:41Here's a beat at the front!
00:30:42And that doesn't connect!
00:30:44Puck picked up by Perfix!
00:30:5540 minutes to play in the books.
00:30:57Both teams will get one last chance to catch their breath!
00:31:00And then it's on to period number 3 next!
00:31:03It's time for our hands for the answer!
00:31:06If the whole team scores in the next 2 minutes, you can get a free hamburger courtesy of our arena!
00:31:19Let's go!
00:31:23Let's go!
00:31:25Let's go!
00:31:32Let's go!
00:31:35Let's go!
00:31:46Let's go!
00:31:50Let's go!
00:31:51Let's go!
00:31:53To ti
00:36:14We're right back.
00:36:22Handles a puck at the point.
00:36:24There's the whistle as the goalie hangs on.
00:36:29Perazic's been balanced and in great position throughout this entire game, James.
00:36:33And he's weathered the storm at different times within it.
00:36:36Multiple big saves and the timeliness of them are huge.
00:36:40I mean, coming up with a big one at the right time really sets the temperature for your team.
00:36:54Buck ready to drop here.
00:36:55Buck ready to drop here any moment to get things underway again.
00:37:03Glenn Denning's won the faceoff here in the offensive zone.
00:37:13Nashville's got the puck.
00:37:14Nashville's got the puck.
00:37:14Picked up along the boards by Ove Cuvelle.
00:37:16Tries to get it over to Ove Cuvelle.
00:37:17Tries to get it over to Yossi.
00:37:20O'Reilly's lugging the puck.
00:37:23Gains the zone on the left wing.
00:37:26Tries to feed it over to Ove Cuvelle.
00:37:28And here at center, that's intercepted.
00:37:31Ray Green on the block.
00:37:34Grabbed along the board by Cartier.
00:37:37And he slides in quickly to Ove Cuvelle.
00:37:42Nashville's got the puck.
00:37:44Oh, and a misfire as that goes right out of the zone.
00:37:50Picked up along the wall by Lazard.
00:37:53Taken by Ove Cuvelle.
00:37:56Quick pass to Cartier.
00:38:00Picks up the puck.
00:38:03Dishes it off.
00:38:10Gun reads the mistake to knock the puck away.
00:38:12Quick feed to O'Reilly.
00:38:15Nashville's got it in their own zone.
00:38:17Here's an odd man rush.
00:38:20Knocks the puck into the corner of the offensive zone.
00:38:23How did he stomp that one?
00:38:25Well, a Grade-A scoring chance.
00:38:27Taken away from the inner slot because he's so aggressive.
00:38:31He gets to the top of his crease.
00:38:32Penalty coming up here.
00:38:36The Predators will now be under man with a cross-checking penalty.
00:38:40Well, this is just a lack of discipline and emotional control.
00:38:43You can see his frustration.
00:38:44He extends the arms and he gets a cross-checking call.
00:38:54St. Petersburg's got another opportunity here on the man advantage.
00:38:57Can't get frustrated with the power play.
00:38:59Skip and execute to the game plan.
00:39:02And Pardo now is hitting that weak side for the cross-piece one-timer.
00:39:05Let's it go!
00:39:07And he was ready for that one!
00:39:17Hope everyone's enjoying the game here tonight.
00:39:19Another big face-off here on this power play.
00:39:23St. Petersburg's got it in the offensive zone.
00:39:27Feeds it over!
00:39:28And play rolls on as he came up with a nice stop there.
00:39:32Gets it out of his own end.
00:39:36St. Petersburg's got possession of the puck.
00:39:39D'Angelo's got it in the defensive end.
00:39:43And now he moves it quickly to Barron.
00:39:46A chance on the redirect!
00:39:48And a great scene!
00:39:49Here's the chance to clear the puck from his own end.
00:39:52And manages to clear the zone.
00:39:55St. Petersburg's got the puck along the wall.
00:40:01Picked up along the boards by Barron.
00:40:05Sends the pass over.
00:40:08Moves it up through the middle from the right.
00:40:10Fabry's been really quiet tonight.
00:40:12Score!
00:40:12Score!
00:40:13Some power play to move from the shot!
00:40:17Wow, this is what I was talking about earlier, James.
00:40:19You've got to get the goal tender moving laterally
00:40:21in that cross-crease one-timer.
00:40:23It's effective.
00:40:25It's amazing at an emotional charge
00:40:27and what it can do for your team in particular
00:40:29when someone who scores it does the dirty work.
00:40:31They work hard, they're courageous in their play,
00:40:33and they exhibit the intangible.
00:40:57The Bears' coaching staff must be pleased with this start
00:41:01jumping out to a one-day lead here in the third.
00:41:03Yeah, you know, it's all about being urgent
00:41:05and not changing the mindset that got you the lead.
00:41:07Right, James?
00:41:08You want to make sure that you're attacking at all costs
00:41:10because you know that you've held the puck so you can.
00:41:13Your opponent is chasing.
00:41:15Continue pushing the pace, and you'll get the W.
00:41:18Takes the shot.
00:41:20And that will stop.
00:41:21Great positioning by the goal tender
00:41:23to redirect it to the corner, getting it out of danger.
00:41:26And the goaltender comes up with a piece of it
00:41:29to keep it out of the net.
00:41:30Gorg's solid check, and he loses control of it.
00:41:33Oh, and cracks it perfectly in the offensive end!
00:41:40St. Petersburg's got the puck along the wall.
00:41:43Grabbed along the board by Stenland.
00:41:54St. Petersburg's got a hold of it along the wall.
00:42:05Here's a shot!
00:42:07St. Petersburg's got a hold of it along the wall.
00:42:13Here's a shot!
00:42:14Violenceiquin' Stuck by the ground tender, getting it
00:42:16a piece of that one.
00:42:18Moves up in the blue line and puts a center of his wall.
00:42:22Higan on that one...
00:42:23stacked.
00:42:24The counters head against the wall.
00:42:29Through the open ice, they're picking up steam.
00:42:32Higan all that hit.
00:42:34Cuts and over to Lazan.
00:42:36Here's a chance on the attack!
00:42:38Close save, and he made it look simple.
00:42:41Saros has it and freezes the play.
00:42:45Wow, James.
00:42:46I mean, not everyone can elicit a thunderous hit like that.
00:42:49I mean, he just clobbered his opponent.
00:42:58More than half the period left to play.
00:43:00Just one goal separating these two teams
00:43:03as we sit with a 3-2 lead.
00:43:08The Predators come up with a defensive zone draw.
00:43:11And tries to make a diagonal pass to Forsberg.
00:43:14And that's broken up by Bastion.
00:43:19Pass back to the point.
00:43:23St. Petersburg's on the attack.
00:43:25There's a shot.
00:43:26Throws the puck up there with the chest.
00:43:28The Blue Jackets are up next on the schedule,
00:43:31and I hear tickets are still available.
00:43:33A few select seats, so get them now.
00:43:36Should be a good one coming up.
00:43:38Past the halfway mark of this period.
00:43:41St. Petersburg's hanging on to this 3-2 lead.
00:43:45And they win the draw in the offensive zone,
00:43:47and they go to work.
00:43:50Gramps it!
00:43:51Gramps it!
00:43:52Oh, what a save in front!
00:43:55Steps inside the line.
00:43:57Throws it in.
00:43:59St. Petersburg's got a hold of it along the wall.
00:44:03And to the offensive end, right up the middle.
00:44:06And that one's turned away!
00:44:13Blue's been on it all night, and as you can see here,
00:44:16the grade-A chances just piled up,
00:44:18and finally he broke through here, James.
00:44:20He didn't get frustrated.
00:44:21But I love to guard it as he continues to get to the right spots.
00:44:24If you're getting good looks at some point,
00:44:26it's eventually going to go in.
00:44:40St. Petersburg's playing one of their best games this season.
00:44:44They continue to dominate the shot department,
00:44:46and lead it here in the third.
00:44:49And off the draw, they'll take possession.
00:44:52Nashville's got it in their own zone.
00:44:56St. Petersburg's got the puck here in the open ice.
00:45:01Plures it!
00:45:02Gramps, save, and it stays out!
00:45:05There he is on the redirect!
00:45:07Big time stop there!
00:45:09He does a great job being such a position here,
00:45:11otherwise he's not going to be able to make that second save, James,
00:45:14but it's pure athleticism that gets the job done.
00:45:16And we're moments away from getting back underway here
00:45:19with the puck drop.
00:45:23Nashville's taking possession in their own end.
00:45:27A great play to use the wall ahead of the pass.
00:45:31Good hit to knock the puck loose.
00:45:34You can feel the energy and the burden right now
00:45:37in this tight game.
00:45:38The pressure is on.
00:45:39You have to find a way to embrace it at this moment.
00:45:44Looks to set up at the point now.
00:45:46And that shot dies in traffic.
00:45:50Struble's moving the puck through his own zone.
00:45:52They've got the defense outnumbered.
00:45:55Oh, and he whiffs!
00:45:57The bear is ready to go on the attack.
00:46:00Shea's taking it from his own end.
00:46:03He grabs the puck here at the point.
00:46:05Slides it across!
00:46:08Oh, my God!
00:46:09Take it along the wall by Barron.
00:46:11Picks up the puck in his own end.
00:46:14And that's a great heads-up play by Kapanen.
00:46:17Here they come!
00:46:19Down the left side on the attack!
00:46:24The Predators should play it from the defensive zone.
00:46:28Gets a hold of the puck from the right side.
00:46:31They've got some momentum here!
00:46:33Here's a chance!
00:46:34Oh, that's a great shot block there.
00:46:36Well, yeah, I mean, it's a great scoring chance,
00:46:38and you want to make sure that you get in front of that one,
00:46:40and he did.
00:46:41He gets all of it.
00:46:42Here's a pass to the middle!
00:46:50Here in the late-goings of the period,
00:46:53the Bears are giving their fans something to cheer about,
00:46:55as they lead it 3-2.
00:46:59Glenn Dennings won the draw,
00:47:01and that slides right out to center ice.
00:47:05And he takes the dish.
00:47:07Glenn Dennings got it against the boards.
00:47:10Can't hang on to the puck after taking a knock.
00:47:13Moves it to Luzon.
00:47:18Nashville's got it along the wall.
00:47:21Takes a shot,
00:47:22and he gets it in front of that rocket!
00:47:26Long lead pass to Obey Cabell.
00:47:31The Predators scooping up along the boards.
00:47:36Nashville's got possession at center.
00:47:40Puck scooped up by Rook.
00:47:44St. Petersburg's got a hold of it against the wall.
00:47:50The Predators have the puck now.
00:47:52Moves it quickly over to Haig.
00:47:56And he dodges the puck.
00:47:57It's a breakaway as he shakes the defender.
00:47:59Scores!
00:48:01What a finish in Olovo!
00:48:04Wow, it isn't easy to score against these Tenders,
00:48:07in particular at these one-on-one battles.
00:48:10But he fakes,
00:48:11and is able to bury in the back of the net.
00:48:15He's in on a breakaway,
00:48:16and some guys know exactly what they want to do,
00:48:18and some guys take what's given.
00:48:20But what a shot that is.
00:48:21He had no chance.
00:48:34The Predators weren't ready to go home,
00:48:36and they weren't planning on rolling over in this one tonight.
00:48:38Look at this, Cheryl.
00:48:39I know my parents used to say,
00:48:40keep the pedal to the metal,
00:48:41and this is exactly what they have to do with that urgency.
00:48:44They score the equalizer,
00:48:45and now they've got the momentum to try and win it all.
00:48:50Tests it over!
00:48:53Nashville's got it behind the net.
00:48:55Slides in to Knifus.
00:48:59Puts it on net!
00:49:01Oh, got a little sliver on it,
00:49:03and it stays out!
00:49:04You know the goalie's dialed in
00:49:06when you redirect the puck to the corner.
00:49:10Still a tight one here
00:49:11as we approach the final minute of the third.
00:49:14Stoffing's in play as we get it offside.
00:49:21Here in the late goings of the period,
00:49:23the next goal could be a big one as we are tied.
00:49:27O'Reilly's run the draw center.
00:49:30Intercepted at center by Barron.
00:49:35Nashville's got the puck along the boards.
00:49:38Scooped up along the wall by Yossi.
00:49:40And now it's run by Previx.
00:49:43The Predators move the puck in the defensive zone.
00:49:47Sends it over to Marcheseau.
00:49:49Look out!
00:49:50Here they come by the attack!
00:49:52Big time stop!
00:49:54Barron's been consistent over the course of his career,
00:49:57mainly because of his positioning, James.
00:49:59He gets set to that puck, square to it, and makes the save.
00:50:07Charves to the sweet spot!
00:50:09And he goes back to Rinko.
00:50:11Dishes it off!
00:50:14Kapanen's on the attack of the offensive slay.
00:50:17And screaming for a shot before the buzzer.
00:50:21Saros makes the save and hangs on for a stoppage of play.
00:50:26A critical draw here.
00:50:34Nashville's got a hold of the puck.
00:50:36Here's a short pass to Barron.
00:50:39Time taking away, and he comes up big.
00:50:44Well, there you go.
00:50:45We played 60 minutes of regulation hockey,
00:50:47and we still don't have a decisive winner,
00:50:49so we're going to get a little bonus time.
00:50:51It's overtime.
00:50:52Buckle up.
00:50:53Get ready, because OT is next.
00:50:56That's your chance to play three.
00:50:57Drop your plastic cups, bottles, and clean paper products
00:51:01in the recycling base throughout the arena.
00:51:03Thank you fans for joining us
00:51:05in the campaign of the same energy,
00:51:07and keep our city in need.
00:51:41And they are ready to drop the puck here in OT.
00:51:48All the drama, all the adventure, all the action.
00:51:53It's overtime.
00:51:56Gets it over.
00:51:57Trying to shake loose.
00:52:00All alone.
00:52:01Stones him on the press away.
00:52:04Morazic's going to give everyone a chance to breathe and hang on to the puck.
00:52:08The goaltender, they have to have talent.
00:52:09They have to have mobility.
00:52:11They have to be able to track the puck.
00:52:12But they have to have a willingness to find it and fight for any second shot.
00:52:16And that's exactly what happens here.
00:52:18Out battling, out willing.
00:52:19And you make the save.
00:52:22A big draw looming here in the offensive zone.
00:52:32St. Petersburg's got the win off that draw.
00:52:36Quick pass to Pallott.
00:52:38Puck grab by Lazard.
00:52:41Solid check to slow down.
00:52:45Puck picked up by Carrick.
00:52:49Passes out front.
00:52:50And he elects not to shoot and will hang on to the puck.
00:52:55The Bears will play it from the point.
00:52:58From the opposite point.
00:53:00And there's the save.
00:53:02And the goalie covers up for the whistle.
00:53:08A big faceoff here inside the offensive end.
00:53:18Nashville's won the faceoff deep in their own end.
00:53:21Moves it over to Forsberg.
00:53:25Oh, what a move!
00:53:28St. Petersburg's regained possession of the puck.
00:53:33D'Angelo stick handling in his own zone.
00:53:36They've got numbers here.
00:53:39Shot!
00:53:40Oh, it gets a play for one of us.
00:53:42Stopped by Saros.
00:53:44Picking up steam in the offensive zone.
00:53:47Makes the save!
00:53:50St. Petersburg's game possession along the boards.
00:53:53Passes over to Barron.
00:53:55Gaining momentum along the wing.
00:53:59Moves the pass in touch.
00:54:01And that's stopped.
00:54:03The Predators have it now.
00:54:06Quick feed to Ben.
00:54:08Takes it into the slot.
00:54:10For the win!
00:54:11And he denies it with a monstrous save here in overtime.
00:54:14Time!
00:54:18Saros is doing a great job of keeping that last puck out.
00:54:20Just have a look at this replay here, James.
00:54:23I mean, he gets to this high danger chance and is able to turn it away.
00:54:26Not sure how he did it, but he got there in time.
00:54:35This is a face-off.
00:54:37They'll definitely want to win here inside the offensive zone.
00:54:44The Predators win the draw.
00:54:46St. Petersburg's trying to shake the defender.
00:54:49He's in!
00:54:50Oh, he tried to pull the trigger on the play.
00:54:53Pause because he's skating himself into Norway and Sam ran out of real estate and gets nothing for it.
00:54:58Don't you like that one?
00:55:00Answered the call there.
00:55:02He might have a step here.
00:55:04He's in alone!
00:55:06Right back check on the play!
00:55:09Referee's hand goes up in the air.
00:55:11We've got a delayed penalty coming up here.
00:55:14Whistle blows, stomping the play.
00:55:17Ferent's going off for interference.
00:55:20The ref isn't putting the whistle away in overtime.
00:55:22Who's going to be the hero and get the golden goal on the power play?
00:55:33Guys, you've got the workhorses of the team out on the ice right now.
00:55:38It's a top-10 rated power play in the entire league.
00:55:41They're so fun to watch.
00:55:43This is a crucial moment in overtime.
00:55:45The football on the board is going to end the game.
00:55:47Let's see what happens here.
00:55:54Nashville's got the puck behind the net.
00:55:57This is it to Marcioso.
00:56:01Makes a move in front for the win!
00:56:04Oh, we are still tied!
00:56:07What a stop!
00:56:11Chose to win it!
00:56:16There's the horn!
00:56:17And still nothing decided after overtime, so we'll take it to a shootout next.
00:56:37Tickets must be named then.
00:56:39We'll be always hit it if you reach out to the ball right there.
00:56:44Chose to win it.
00:56:47Oh, wow.
00:56:48He's got to get it.
00:56:48Yeah, that's just a tough one.
00:57:09Welcome back, everybody.
00:57:11These two teams have remained deadlocked
00:57:13after three periods, after overtime,
00:57:16but not for much longer.
00:57:17Time for the shootout.
00:57:19What a chance, but couldn't pull the trigger.
00:57:22You have to trust your skills
00:57:23when you're the person that's chosen.
00:57:25Be reactionary.
00:57:26Read what the goaltender's giving you,
00:57:27and he didn't do that.
00:57:31What a save on the shootout.
00:57:32Well, he makes himself as big as possible.
00:57:34There's no holes.
00:57:42That's it, Dan.
00:57:43What a save.
00:57:44Huge save.
00:57:45You could tell that he wanted that one.
00:57:49Well, as he gets to center eyes,
00:57:51he'll look to get his team on the board
00:57:52or even just provide some.
00:57:54Makes a save on that shootout attempt.
00:57:56Well, with today's technology
00:57:57and all the resources available,
00:57:59you know that goaltenders have the book on the shooter,
00:58:01and I'm telling you, he read this one perfectly.
00:58:05Oh, he got it.
00:58:06Oh, that's a save by Glasses.
00:58:12Palat's got a chance to be the hero
00:58:13if he can come up with a clutch goal.
00:58:16Makes the save and will play on.
00:58:19Patience personified.
00:58:20Outweights the shooter, James.
00:58:23Yossi's made his way to center ice.
00:58:25He still don't have a goal in this shootout.
00:58:27Stoxer has not been turning into a save-out
00:58:30instead of a shootout.
00:58:31Yeah, I mean, this is 1v1 against the goaltender,
00:58:34and he's challenging at the top of his crease,
00:58:36but most importantly, he's tracking
00:58:38and anticipating the next move.
00:58:40Easy, breezy, lemon squeezy.
00:58:42You sound like my youngest child,
00:58:45crisscross applesauce there.
00:58:46And guess what?
00:58:47The goaltender, he didn't get tangled up at all.
00:58:50Oh, and that play.
00:58:52Yeah, the shootout, he's confident and composed.
00:58:54You don't see him moving around in his crease.
00:58:56Just makes himself as big as possible.
00:58:57It looks really efficient.
00:59:01Tonight on the play.
00:59:02So efficient, calm, and move smoothly to make the save.
00:59:07Fenn's making his way to center ice
00:59:09as it's his turn now to try to end this.
00:59:12And he turns it aside.
00:59:14He does a great job on this shootout here, James.
00:59:17And there's so much pressure on you,
00:59:18but you have to embrace it,
00:59:19and that's exactly what he does.
00:59:20He looks confident, he looks composed,
00:59:22and he makes the save.
00:59:23And that's the shootout.
00:59:24Let's hear the shootout.
00:59:26This is why they practice it a lot of the time.
00:59:28Post-practice, James, goaltenders want work on this.
00:59:30So do shooters.
00:59:31He does a great job of anticipating to make that save.
00:59:35Makes a save, and what's going to do?
00:59:37Yeah, the body language.
00:59:39Everything about him is telling you
00:59:40that he's confident and composed right now.
00:59:42Here's a chance to seal the deal.
00:59:46And he stops that attempt.
00:59:48But I think he just does a great job
00:59:50of making himself as big as possible
00:59:52and took away all the shooting angles.
00:59:55Evangelista's got that ability to score here.
00:59:58Crees it perfectly and makes the save.
01:00:00Love that he doesn't sit back in his crease,
01:00:03but he gets out and challenges
01:00:04and takes away as much of the net as possible.
01:00:09Looking good.
01:00:10Makes the save.
01:00:12Wow, and this is a huge save.
01:00:13There's so much pressure on the shooter
01:00:15and the goaltender in this one.
01:00:16You know it's coming to a halt here.
01:00:18The game is going to be decided in this shootout.
01:00:20He makes...
01:00:21Scores!
01:00:22And with authority!
01:00:24Wow!
01:00:24Yeah, the goaltender couldn't get a read on that shot
01:00:26because it was hard and it was fast, James.
01:00:29Quick release.
01:00:30Quick release.
01:00:44Carrick's got to come up with a goal here
01:00:46or it's all over.
01:00:51Today they have the save
01:00:53and that'll do it as they take it.
01:01:05What a game!
01:01:07What an effort by the road team!
01:01:16Hope you had as much fun as we did here tonight
01:01:18and we will see you the next time.
