Two games, two shutouts, two massive victories.
Juuse Saros was perfect again, and Ryan Ellis scored the game's only goal, as the Nashville Predators defeated the Dallas Stars, 1-0, to sweep a home-and-home set with their division rival on Saturday afternoon in Texas.
The result gives the Preds 76 points in the standings - enough to slot them back into a Wild Card spot for the moment - but just as important, two-straight wins over the team that has become arguably their top rival.
Plus, it's the first time in franchise history the Predators have posted shutouts in both outings of a home-and-home scenario - and that feels quite satisfying.
