Predators get a power play goal for the 8th consecutive game.
Predators outshot the Oilers 35 to 22.
LOWLIGHTS:
Tomas Vokoun, who started this game in goal for the Predators &
suffered the loss, still hasn't won a game yet this season.
For the 2nd consecutive game, the Predators have allowed 4 goals to
the opposing team.
Predators have now lost 3 straight games.
COMMENTS: Overall, the Predators' offense still could use some
improvement. They did not score in the first period & were limited to 1 goal
in the 2nd & 3rd periods each. Also, Tommy Salo of the Oilers was solid in
goal, stopping 33 of the Predators' 35 shots on goal. But I think the
important thing is that the Predators have to generate a lot of offense
throughout the entire game & score early. This would help set the momentum
in favor of the Predators. Throughout this 3 game losing streak, the Predators
have allowed the opposition to score first, thus putting the Predators at a
disadvantage.
