NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - The Nashville Predators made the most of a special teams bonanza.
The Predators stopped the Toronto Maple Leafs during eight short-handed chances and scored two power-play goals in a 4-2 win Thursday night. "We just kept skating and forcing them to take penalties on us," coach Barry Trotz said after his Predators went 2-for-11 on the power play. "Our penalty killers did a great job of taking away their point men. Your best penalty killer is in the net and Tomas Vokoun did a great job."
There were 22 penalties overall, 13 whistled against Toronto.
"Killing a lot of penalties is working time for me," said Vokoun who stopped 30 shots. "Penalties are our biggest issue. We are talking about it, but clearly something has to be done. I understand desperation penalties to save a goal, but we took three or four penalties in our offensive zone. On a bad night, we are going to lose a game doing that."
