Nashville Predators
The Nashville Predators (28-17-4) lost to Washington at home on Tuesday, 4-1. The Capitals were 1-4 on the power-play as Nashville is 14th in penalty killing at 80.6%. The score was tied at one, but three unanswered tallies in the final 16 minutes of the game gave Washington the victory. Juuse Saros allowed three goals on 27 shots. He has been outstanding this season, going 24-14-3 with a 2.45 GAA and a .924 save percentage. However, Saros has allowed 11 total goals over his last three starts.
Nashville is 14th in goals per game (3.0), but the offense has abandoned this club over the last three contests, scoring just six goals. Fillip Forsberg has scored six points over his last five games to lead the club, and is third on the team in total points with 40, averaging better than a point per game.
Carolina Hurricanes

Carolina gave up three unanswered goals to Minnesota before Andrei Svechnikov scored two goals to close out the contest. Svechnikov now has four tallies over the last five games and is second on the club with 20 total goals. He is also second with 44 points.
This team has suddenly lost some of their mojo between the pipes, giving up at least three goals in four of their five games in February. Frederik Andersen is having a stellar season, going 25-7-2 with a 2.07 GAA and a .928 save percentage. However, he has allowed three or more goals in three of his last four appearances.
