The Morning After: Devils 3, Preds 2 (Shootout)

Last night's game between the Devils and Predators was a tale of two games. The Predators clearly were in control for the first part of the game and the Devils picked up steam toward the end.

It was clearly the best effort of the season for the Predators at both ends of the ice. Barry Trotz was not displeased with the effort and appeared to find more positives than negatives after the loss.

It is disappointing that critical points are decided in a mano-a-mano skills competition instead of with the teams on the ice.

The team was scheduled to leave for Edmonton today at 1 p.m. where they will play the Oilers on Monday at 8:30 p.m.
