The Predators blew out the Blackhawks in Game 2 tonight. The final score was 5-0.
No, really. 5-0. It was a blowout. Wasn’t close. The Preds dominated.
Here’s how it happened.
Ryan Ellis scored with a little less than four minutes gone in the 1st period. A really nice passing sequence in the offensive zone led to two shots by Ellis, with the second one getting by both Viktor Arvidsson and Corey Crawford. The Preds continued to put pressure on the Hawks in the neutral zone, driving them back into their own end with regularity.
