The Penguins are not making it easy on themselves to clinch a playoff spot, they could easily be caught with their inconsistent play. The 2017 SC reunion game is just that. The Predators relied on Rinne for the win and was a stud, especially in the 1st period when the Pens dominated it, 22-11 were the shots. The Predators scored a goal in each period and Rinne was 63 seconds away from the shutout when Bjugstad scored. The Preds PK was perfect at 4 for 4.
The Blues ran into great goaltending by Giorgiev. He was the one mand show as he stopped 44 shots in the Rangers win. The Blues out shot the Rangers 36-14 in the 2nd and 3rd periods. The Blues had a 2-0 lead after the 1st period, kind of surprised they lost here.
The Wild had a 3-0 lead and had to hang on with Dubnyk doing his voodoo magic to keep his team in the playoff race.
