Rob Valicevic had his second 3-point performance of the season.
Mike Dunham made 32 saves out of 33 save opportunities to end his
personal 5-game losing streak.
LOWLIGHTS:
Not much to comment on in the area of lowlights.
COMMENTS: Beating a very tough opponent (i.e. Detroit) is a
great way to end a long losing streak, since this would help boost the
Predators' confidence in the following games. Getting an early lead is
very important, & the Predators did just that, getting a 2-0 lead in
the first period on goals by Kimmo Timonen & David Legwand. The
Predators' defense was quite solid, giving up only 1 goal to
Detroit. I can't wait to see the Predators win a 2nd consecutive
game. They will get an opportunity to do just that when they meet the
Atlanta Thrashers for the first time ever on December 6, 1999 @ Atlanta.
