You can't harp on the Predators for creating opportunities in front of the net recently. They've been doing that. Burying those opportunities, on the other hand, isn't something they've found a knack for yet. That's not a good thing, either, with so little time left in the season.
Let's rewind back to the first period of Tuesday nights game against the Washington Capitals as the latest example of "woops, we couldn't find the back of the net."
Nashville forced the Capitals back into their own end for the first ten minutes of the opening period, forcing shot after shot at goaltender Braden Holtby -- who was doing a marvelous job in net, mind you.
