Predators goalie makes 38 saves to steal win in regular season series finale.

The Finnish goalie made 38 saves as the Nashville Predators hung on over the final two periods to upend the Ducks 3-2 Tuesday night at Bridgestone Arena.
"He was an All Star goalie tonight, no doubt. He controls the puck so well, for us to get 40 shots the way he controls the puck is quite an accomplishment, but we've got to find a way to score goals when we need to score goals," said head coach Bruce Boudreau to Julie Stewart-Binks on Prime Ticket.
