Thoughts, musings and observations from the Pens' 5-1 loss against the Nashville Predators on Saturday night at Bridgestone Arena.
*The Pens were killed tonight by odd-man rushes, particularly in the second period. The Predators scored four goals in the middle frame, and all of them came off of odd-man rushes. The problem originates in puck management, as turnovers and a quick-strike response by Nashville created those rush opportunities. A second problem was the Pens not getting back in time to negate the advantage. The Predators were also opportunistic in finishing off those chances and deserve credit.
