The Predators were 0 for 7 on the power play and it was often the Canes, while shorthanded, getting better chances while the Preds had the man-advantage.
THEY GO UP 2-0. 25 SECONDS LATER , OFF THE STATE FROM THE FEDS. NOT GETTING TO THEM FOR GOOD MEASURE. CANES WHEN 3-0. THEY GO UP 2-0 IN THE SERIES. THEY HAVE BACK TO NASHVILLE ON FRIDAY. CASEY IS LIVE AT PNC ARENA. IT LOOKS LIKE IT HAS CLEARED OUT A LITTLE BIT. SOMEONE WHO IS CLEARING OUT EVERYTHING AT THE GOAL WAS ALEX. HE HAD AN AMAZING GAME CASEY? >> Reporter: AS FANS WORK FILING OUT OF HERE THE CHANCE OF NED WERE HEARD THROUGHOUT. RIGHTFULLY SO. HE NOW GOT HIS FIRST CAREER PLAYOFF SHUTOUT. WITH THE 32 SAVE PERFORMANCE. IN THE SECOND PERIOD ALONE, 83% OF THE SHOTS CAME IN HIGH DANGER. IN THE THIRD PERIOD OF HER 50% OF THE SHOTS IN THE SAME AREA. IT WAS THE REBOUND CONTROL. THE WAY HE PLAYS THE POCKET. ALLOWING THE PLAY TO COME TO HIM. THAT WAS THE DIFFERENCE TONIGHT. THAT CONFIDENCE IN BETWEEN THE PIPE. THAT DID NOT GO UNNOTICED WITH HIS TEAMMATES. >> THE NUMBER ONE STYLE WAS NED. HE WAS A STUD TONIGHT. >> IF THEY MAKE A PLATE IT WILL BAIL US OUT. IT IS HUGE WHEN YOU HAVE A HOT GOALIE. >> THAT IS THE STUFF YOU THINK ABOUT GROWING UP. A-1 GOAL GAME AND A FEW MINUTES LEFT, YOU HAVE TO MAKE A SAFE. THAT IS FUN AND THE CROWD IS ON THE EDGE OF THEIR SEAT THE WHOLE TIME. >> Reporter: DID I MENTIONED THEY HAD TO ALSO DO THIS WHILE KILLING OFF A 7 PENALTY. THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME ALL SEASON THEY WOULD HAVE TO DO THAT IN A GAME. THEY KILLED THEM ALL OFF. A BIG REASON WHY WAS BECAUSE OF BRADY AND SHEA. THEY HAD 10 MINUTES OF ICE TIME ON THE PENALTY KILL. THEY ARE SACRIFICING THEIR EFFORTS ON THE PENALTY KILL. IT WAS THE EXACT REASON WHY NED HELD OUT IN FRONT. THEY HAD TO NASHVILLE UP TO NOTHING IN THIS FIRST ROUND OF THE SERIES.
