The Predators, who lost Ryan Johansen and Craig Smith to illness in the middle of the game, dropped to 1-3-0 on the season after losing to the Red Wings by a score of 5-3 on Friday night.
The Predators had a similar start in this one as they did against Dallas on Tuesday. Not much offense and shaky defense in front of Rinne. However, also like Tuesday, Pekka was on it early. He made 15 saves in the 1st period to keep it a scoreless game.
The Red Wings got on board first in the 2nd period, after Justin Abdelkader’s goal was challenged and upheld.
