| Goalies key to Nashville success NASHVILLE , Tenn. (AP) -The Nashville Predators are not worried about messing up a good thing. Goaltender Tomas Vokoun is back in the crease after missing 21 games with a torn ligament in his left thumb even though backup Chris Mason, who leads the NHL with a .928 save percentage, is a key reason why the Predators ranked second in the Western Conference going into the weekend. Luckily, Vokoun and Mason are friends first, competitors second. "I hope not to disrupt anything," coach Barry Trotz said of putting Vokoun back in the starting lineup. "The guys are best of friends, and they cheer for each other. They both want to be in net, but they know each other's roles. Hopefully, Tomas gets off to a good start and gets on a roll. And hopefully, we can keep Mase going on his roll because he's really in a good groove right now." Goaltending big advantage for thriving Predators Last edited by Lefty Noob : 01-12-2007 at 08:47 AM. |
