Jets 4; Preds 2
Actual Final Score:
Jets 5; Preds 1
Last night's game did come down to a battle of goalies. The Jets scored twice within the first twelve minutes on Preds goalie Pekke Rinne and Nashville Coach Peter Laviolette pulled Rinne, replacing him with Juuse Saros who finished out the game.
Tyler Myers started the Jets off on their streak being the first to score in period one. Then, the Jets' Paul Stastny and Mark Scheifele sent the puck into the Preds net, both with two goals: Stastny in periods one and three and Scheifele in both the second and third period. The only Preds goal came from P.K. Suban in the first period.
The Jets played damn fine, looking nothing like the team that the Preds shut out in Tuesday's game.
Considering the Preds performance over the past four seasons, we'll see them in the playoffs again. If they continue playing as they have and make a few adjustments, tweaks and/or player trades, they're probably not far off from winning The Cup in a future season.
