Pekka Rinne was outstanding once more, but the goaltender's efforts weren't enough, as the Nashville Predators fell in overtime, 2-1, to the Chicago Blackhawks on Friday night.
The result gives the Preds a much-needed point in the standings, but the goal is two, and Nashville was only able to get one of their 43 shots past Chicago netminder Corey Crawford.
"At this time of the year, it's hard to get the points, and tonight we got one," Rinne said. "We have to move on. [We have a] game tomorrow right away, but I don't know, it's frustrating when you lose. I don't think it was a very good hockey game overall, just two teams afraid to lose the game."
