The Nashville Predators got off to a hot start against the Ottawa Senators in last night's game going up 3-0 in the first period but collapsed in the second and third as the Senators' pushed back and defeated the Predators in overtime by a score of 4-3. On today's Locked On Predators we break down the game including our "one word" to describe the loss and tackle three big questions that this performance brings to the forefront for Nashville.

The Predators made some significant adjustments on the power play ahead of last night game but still couldn't convert on the man advantage. Do new power play units need more time to gel or is this a bigger problem for Nashville's special teams? Filip Forsberg, Ryan O'Reilly, and Gus Nyquist have been carrying the Preds this season but were outplayed last night in Ottawa. We debate whether it is time to shake up the Predators' top line and why that decision comes at a tough time in the season for Andrew Brunette. Finally we ask ourselves "Where was Phil Tomasino?". The young forward recorded a goal and assist in the first period but played very little in a close third period and not at all in overtime. What does Tomasino need to do to be trusted in the big moments of big games?
