That’s more like it! The series between theNashville Predatorsand theWinnipeg Jetsis the only series this year featuring twoVezina Trophyfinalists. However bothPekka RinneandConnor Hellebuyckhave had sub-par numbersRinnein particular who up to this point had a.890 SV%and a3.90 GAAwhich are numbers you’d be hard pressed to find in your average backup goaltender. Game four however had only three total goals between the men between the pipes which is more akin to what we’d expect from two goalies up for the leagues best of the year.
As a result of the goaltending on display there is precious few moments to talk about.JetsdefencemanJosh Morrisseywas very close to opening the score on a open net, butRinnemanaged to make a spectacular (albeit very lucky) save with the butt end of his stick. This allowedNashvilleto break the ice with a wicked wrister byRyan HartmanbeatingHellebuyckover the shoulder for the 1-0Predslead.
The nextPredsgoal would come in the second period off a bomb fromP.K. Subban. His one-timer from the point would beat a screenedHellebuyckunder the arm making it 2-0Nashville.JetswingerPatrik Lainewould breakRinne’sshutout with under a minute to go, but thePredswould hold on to win 2-1 inWinnipeg. TheJetsout shot thePreds33-29 but would ultimately lose the game and will go into game five tied 2-2. This is the first low scoring affair between the two teams in not just the playoffs but the regular season as well. This could be attributed to better discipline leading to less powerplays, and therefore less grade A scoring chances. Game five will beSaturday May 5th in Nashvillewhere the series tie will be broken once again, but who will break the deadlock?
