Last Night's opening game 3-2 victory for the Predators could not have been scripted any better as an example of Predator hockey. Excellent goaltending, solid defense, and just enough scoring to eek out a one goal victory is almost the definition of "The Predator Way."
The fact that it came on the road in Columbus against a Blue Jacket team that is improved has already made the current two game road trip a success. A win tonight in St. Louis would make an even bigger statement that the Predators have picked up where they left off at the end of last season when they were playing as well as anyone in the Western Conference.
