Locked On Predators - Daily Podcast On The Nashville Predators Locked On Podcast Network

Another game-stealing performance from Juuse Saros and big games from several of the team's new faces propelled the Nashville Predators to a clutch 2-1 win over the Seattle Kraken. In addition to keeping the Preds in the playoff chase, this game represented a lot of positive things the Preds can build on moving forward. In today's show, we highlight the plethora of new players -- like Kiefer Sherwood, Luke Evangelista, Tommy Novak, and Phil Tomasino -- who have elevated their games when the Preds were most in need of heroes. We also look at Saros's big night and the one aspect of his game that's helped the Predators steal wins, and why John Hynes and David Poile deserve credit for the Preds' performance down the stretch.

Today we're joined by Erica Ayala, host of Locked On Kraken to talk Martin Jones, Luke Evangelista and Tommy Novak, and of course THE hot button topic of the season...Eeli Tolvanen.

Tonight the Preds welcome the Kraken to Bridgestone Arena for the first of two matchups, and both teams desperately need these four points to stay in the playoff conversation. Erica Ayala, host of Locked On Kraken, joins us to talk about Seattle's up and down season. She shares the goaltending challenges Martin Jones and Philipp Grubauer have faced and how expectations for the Kraken have recently shifted.

Finally, we have THE conversation everyone in Nashville wants to listen in on. We'll tell you what Seattle head coach Dave Hakstol said about former Predator Eeli Tolvanen that may rile up Predators fans one more time.

The Nashville Predators needed a bounce back performance after this weekend's excruciating loss to the New York Rangers, and they got that last night against Tage Thompson and the Buffalo Sabres. Young Luke Evangelista recorded two goals and two assists in just his eleventh NHL game while veteran Matt Duchene chipped in two goals to give the Preds a 7-3 victory on the road.

On today's Locked On Predators we recap last night's win including our "one word" to describe the game. Luke Evangelista recorded a four point game last night, and Nick and Ann discuss what we like about his mindset through his first eleven NHL games and which former Predators player his on ice skill set reminds us of. We also hand out kudos to a veteran that we called out this week for underperforming - we'll share how the stats reveal the importance of Matt Duchene's production down the stretch. We also discuss the chemistry developing with Duchene and his line mates. This game wasn't sixty minutes of perfection, so we break down the areas that still concern us about this Preds team as they prepare for the Seattle Kraken later this week.

After a humbling 7-0 loss to the New York Rangers, a Roman Josi - less Nashville Predators team takes the ice tonight against Tage Thompson, Alex Tuch, and the Buffalo Sabres. On today's show we discuss the recent play of Matt Duchene - one of the few veterans remaining after injuries and the trade deadline - and why success tonight may rest on his experienced shoulders.

Both Buffalo and Nashville are coming off of 7-0 losses, and tonight's game may be won or lost in the locker room before the puck is dropped. On today's Locked On Predators we discuss what head coach John Hynes needs to say or do before this injury riddled team even takes the ice to set the Predators up for a better performance. We also have a frank discussion about what the young players need from veterans like Matt Duchene as the team wobbles after a hot stretch. Nick and Ann take a look at Duchene's recent stats - or lack thereof - and troubleshoot what may be going on with his game and what his young teammates need to see from him tonight. Finally, we share our keys to the game. What one small stat could determine the outcome of this game tonight? We reiterate an oft repeated truth about penalties and debate which goaltender should start in net tonight for Nashville.

The Nashville Predators just can't catch a break. Not only did they suffer two deflating losses this weekend, including a 7-0 drubbing the New York Rangers and a heartbreaking 3-2 OT loss to playoff rivals Winnipeg Jets, but they're also now without Captain Roman Josi due to an undisclosed injury. On today's episode, we break down how the Preds move forward without their best player, and we question if Josi's injury is the final knockout punch to a season that's already seen a mass player exodus at the trade deadline and a rash of injuries to the likes of Filip Forsberg, Ryan Johansen, and Alexandre Carrier.
We also discuss in what context should we view the Preds' embarrassing 7-0 loss to Rangers, and the one lesson players should take away from it... the ways in which Phil Tomasino and Luke Evangelista have improved their games since being called up the Preds' NHL lineup... and why haven't we seen more from Matt Duchene in the second half of the season?

The Nashvile Predators lost to Alex Stalock and the Chicago Blackhawks last night despite a solid performance in net by Juuse Saros and a goal by Roman Josi. After the game, Josi said part of turning the page and preparing for Saturday's game against the Winnipeg Jets would be having honest conversations. Today Locked On Predators discusses what may need to be said before puck drop Saturday afternoon.

Nashville was hoping to earn two points with a win over the bottom team in the Central Division, but instead the Predators lost 2-1 to the Blackhawks. On today's Locked On Predators Ann recaps the disappointing performance last night and shares her "one word" to describe the game. Roman Josi said postgame that the team would review the game, have honest conversations, and not get too high or too low ahead of Saturday's showdown with the Jets. Ann imagines what three of those conversations may need to be if Nashville hopes for a better outcome this weekend. As the Predators work through this new "reset", what honest conversations need to be had among a restless fan base as well? Finally, Ann looks at three keys to the game when the Predators welcome Winnipeg to Bridgestone Arena tomorrow. With a four point swing on the line, what will it take to get a win and stay in the playoff conversation?
