The Preds have managed to pull out two straight wins; one being a fairly convincing 4-1 victory over the Calgary Flames, the other an absolutely bonkers 4-3 shootout win over the Vancouver Canucks. But hey — as Jason Calacanis once said, “no one remembers how you got there, only that you got there.” The bottom line is the Preds have four out of a possible six points halfway through this Western road trip.
