After splitting the first two games of the season with the division rival Chicago Blackhawks, the Predators schedule did not get any easier Tuesday night.
The Predators lost a second consecutive game to a division foe, this time to the Dallas Stars, 2-1 at Bridgestone Arena.
“It wasn’t a great game for us,” goaltender Pekka Rinne said after the game. “We obviously need to be better. Playing Central games, the first three games we went 1-2, its not the start we want but these are huge games.
“We can’t choose our schedule; it is what it is.
