Juuse Saros is doing everything he can to keep the dream of a surprise Nashville Predators playoff run alive. Saros stopped 43 of 45 shots against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday, but the Preds offense couldn't find a way past Tristan Jarry, and the Pens won 2-0.

In today's episode, we put Saros's performance in the spotlight, and question what the team in front of him could have done differently to steal a win from the Pens. We also put the Preds power play under the microscope, which has now scored only once in the previous 10 games. Finally, we highlight two non-Saros Preds that should be praised for their performances last night, and look ahead to Saturday's showdown against the St. Louis Blues at Bridgestone Arena.
