Obviously there's always some shifts or some plays you'd like to be better at, but it's obviously a tough league, playing a really good team in a tough building to win in, so overall I think a pretty good effort.

"There's definitely things that we could've done better in front of him. There were some redirect goals. There were some funny bounces there in the third period that came out right on somebody's stick, and they ended up knocking it home. There's not much that he could do on those." -- Predators coach Peter Laviolette on goaltender Juuse Saros
