The Nashville Predators relied on Juuse Saros in a third period push by David Pastrnak, Patrice Bergeron, and the Boston Bruins to hold on and defeat the top team in the NHL by a score of 2-1. Goals by Cody Glass and Cole Smith and smart play by young Luke Evangelista led to the surprising upset victory at TD Garden.

*** NOTE: This is LO Predators first show since the school shooting that has devastated our city, and Nick and Ann discuss the recent events at the show's open. The game recap begins at 10:21 in the episode. ***

The Nashville Predators are without a long list of veterans due to injury, but last night a young Predators team stepped up and battled one of the best NHL rosters in history and came away with the win. On today's Locked On Predators, Nick and Ann recap the surprising victory including our "one word" to describe the game. We compare the experience of Nashville's pieced together top six with the world class top six forwards of the Bruins and break down what this Nashville Predators team did well enough to steal two valuable points. Nick and Ann also wrestle with the question - could these injuries and the resulting opportunities for young players actually be a blessing in disguise for Nashville as the franchise looks ahead? And if Filip Forsberg is healthy before the end of the regular season, is it wise to put him back in the lineup? We talk about last night's unlikely win and where the Predators find themselves when it comes to a sliver of postseason hope on today's Locked On Predators.
