8 Nashville Predators: Media Notes FOR THE PREDATORS PLAYOFF GUIDE VISIT: nashvillepredators.com/playoffmediaguide FOR THE PREDATORS 00- MEDIA GUIDE VISIT: nashvillepredators.com/mediaguide A MARATHON VICTORY FOR THE PREDATORS The Nashville Predators evened their series against the No. seeded Vancouver Canucks with a dramatic overtime victory reminiscent of Game Five of the WCQ against Anaheim. Once again, the Predators were able to knot things up on a goal by a defenseman in the waning minutes of the third period with Ryan Suter scoring his first of the playoffs. With the initial 0 minutes of overtime solving nothing, the Predators played the second double-overtime game in franchise history the previous result was a 5- loss against San Jose in 007. Saturday s contest would eventually stretch to 9 minutes and 5 seconds, ending as the longest game in Predators history. Rookie Matt Halischuk provided the heroics for Nashville and the Predators have now won their last two overtime matchups after going without a win in their first three attempts. GOALTENDERS SHINE AGAIN Pekka Rinne and Roberto Luongo both continued their strong play, with each now having allowed only two goals over the course of the series two games. For the second game in a row, Rinne was named the First Star of the Game by Hockey Night in Canada. The Nashville netminder s save percentage now stands at.958 in the series, while his Vancouver counterpart is at.970. Luongo s saves in Game Two were the most ever by an opposition goaltender in Predators playoff history, breaking a mark set by Evgeni Nabokov in 007. PLAYOFF QUICK HITS After 98 regular season games and postseason contests, the Nashville Predators advanced to the second round of the playoffs for the first time in 0. Only three players remain from the team s first postseason appearance in 00 (David Legwand, Martin Erat and Jordin Tootoo) Legwand, Erat and Shea Weber are tied for first in franchise playoff scoring (7 pts), while Joel Ward has moved up to fifth place (0 pts) by virtue of scoring six points (g-a) in his last seven games. Ward had a five-game point streak (g- a) snapped in Game One of the WCS. The streak was the longest in Predators postseason history Legwand led the team in scoring in last year s postseason, picking up seven points (g-5a) in six games, tying Paul Kariya for highest single-series output in franchise history Mike Fisher leads all Predators in playoff experience with 8 games prior to 0, all were with the Ottawa Senators Jonathon Blum, Blake Geoffrion, Matt Halischuk and Anders Lindback all made their NHL playoff debuts in the WCQ Rinne has more than doubled up Tomas Vokoun in franchise playoff victories, moving into first in the category with seven wins Cody Franson notched four assists against the Ducks, setting a series franchise record for defensemen; Ryan Suter had three, to tie the previous mark Nashville and Vancouver had never faced each other in the NHL playoffs prior to 0 Nashville has not lost consecutive games in the 0 Playoffs. WESTERN CONFERENCE SEMIFINALS GAME TWO April 0, 0: Nashville Predators, Vancouver Canucks ( OT) at Rogers Arena Goals were once again hard to come by as Pekka Rinne and Roberto Luongo continued their stellar play. Rinne was solid throughout, allowing only a single goal a shorthanded marker by Alexandre Burrows in the second period. Luongo was equally impressive, extending his shutout streak from the first game of the series through the first 58 minutes of Game Two before a Ryan Suter goal tied the game and forced overtime. Suter s goal came with Rinne on the bench and an extra attacker on the ice, the second extra-attacker goal by the Preds this postseason. Though the Canucks had been outshot 6-5 in the first three periods, Vancouver came out firing in the first overtime. The home team put shots on goal, but left empty-handed as the game rolled into a second overtime. The Canucks would outshoot the Predators 8-0 in the extra periods but ultimately went home disappointed as Matt Halischuk ended sudden death with his second goal of the postseason. At more than 9 minutes, the game was the longest in Predators postseason history, surpassing a double-overtime loss to San Jose in the 007 WCQ Before Suter s goal at 8:5 of the third period, the Predators scoreless streak had extended to 9:0 the longest in franchise playoff history Nashville s 6 shots and the 79 shots by both teams combined were each franchise highs for a playoff game. The shot-advantage held by the Predators also set a new mark for a road game Neither team has scored a power-play goal in the series, with Vancouver at 0-for-6 and Nashville at 0-for-9 Nashville held the advantage in shots (6-), hits (-), blocked shots (-9) and face-off wins (57-). Shane O Brien and Steve Sullivan were the only Predators not to record a shot. Kevin Klein recorded a game-high five blocked shots. David Legwand was 8-of- (78 percent) in the face-off circle Suter and Shea Weber each played greater than minutes, while Legwand was the only other skater on the Nashville roster to eclipse the 9- minute mark (:5). WESTERN CONFERENCE SEMIFINALS GAME ONE April 8, 0: Vancouver Canucks, Nashville Predators 0 at Rogers Arena In stark contrast to the Predators vanquishing of the Anaheim Ducks, the opening game of the Western Conference Semifinals was a low-scoring affair, with only one puck finding the back of the net. Chris Higgins would finally break through with a second period goal and his team fended off a Predators attack that more than doubled the Canucks in shots in the contest s final frame (9-) to hold on for the win.

9 REGULAR SEASON SERIES WRAP-UP Defenseman Shane O Brien was acquired along with forward Dan Gendur from Vancouver on Oct. 5 in exchange for Ryan Parent and Jonas Andersson The teams played all four of their games in the 0 portion of the schedule, splitting the season series at two games apiece and alternating wins. The Predators are against the Canucks all time, but in the last 0 meetings Nashville outscored Vancouver 8-6 in the four games. Special teams goals were hard to come by, with Nashville going 0-for- on the power-play, and Vancouver, the League s top-ranked power-play (. percent in the regular season), scoring only once against the Predators penalty kill Martin Erat led Nashville skaters with four points (g-a) Pekka Rinne was --0 against the Canucks this season with a.6 goals-against average,.96 save percentage and a 9-save shutout Nick Spaling and Blake Geoffrion scored the game-winners in the Preds victories. For Geoffrion, it was his first career game-winning goal Ryan Suter played at least 6 minutes in three of the four games The Canucks win on March 9 snapped a five-game winning streak for Nashville and was one of only two regulation losses in the Predators final games of the regular season. NOTABLES AGAINST VANCOUVER Steve Sullivan (5g-5a-0pts in 7 gp) and Martin Erat (8g-6a-pts in gp) lead the Predators in production against the Canucks in their careers Pekka Rinne has an all-time record of --0 with a.89 goals-against average and a shutout against Vancouver. Anders Lindback has never faced the Canucks Shane O Brien played two seasons with the Canucks, picking up 8 points (g-6a) and a + rating in games. He also had five points (g-a) in playoff games for Vancouver Jerred Smithson is a native of Vernon, B.C., while Shea Weber and Cody Franson both call Sicamous, B.C., home. Franson and Jonathon Blum both played their junior careers with the Vancouver Giants (WHL), capturing the Memorial Cup in 007. Blum finished his career as the Giants all-time leader in points by a defenseman Shea Weber (Canada), Ryan Suter (United States), Patric Hornqvist (Sweden), Marcel Goc (Germany), Martin Erat (Czech Republic), and Sergei Kostitsyn (Belarus) all participated in the 00 Olympics in Vancouver.
