Pekka Rinne made 34 saves, but the Nashville Predators only scored once as they fell to the Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday night at the United Center, 2-1. It's the second defeat in as many evenings suffered by the Preds; they dropped a 4-3 overtime decision in Ottawa on Monday.
Nashville is 0-6-2 in their last eight away from home, and although the group said their overall effort was better at times on Tuesday, the results still weren't there, which didn't bring about any satisfaction.
"We didn't get a win, so it's not good enough," Preds Captain Roman Josi said. "Pekka stood on his head for a lot in the second period, and it seemed like we just couldn't get anything going. We didn't get enough zone time, didn't win enough battles, so it's disappointing. We need to win some games on the road."
