It’s hard to look at the opening 7-0 Dallas Stars win over the Nashville Predators and not feel great. Dallas found the net with regularity, and by the end of the game, the “Dobby” chants were echoing through a full-as-could-be American Airlines Center.
With five power-play goals, an even-strength goal, and a shorthanded tally to back it up, there wasn’t much that Nashville could do to end the celebration of live hockey’s return to the Metroplex. The Stars needed to wash the disappointment of a Stanley Cup loss out of the system, and the Friday night should have accomplished just that.
The game got away from us during special teams, but it s a long season and it s a process, Preds Captain Roman Josi said following Friday s loss. We ve got to stick to our game. Today didn t go our way - we ve got to be a lot better, but I think we ve got to stick to our process and stick to our game.
The Predators participated in off-ice workouts and meetings on Saturday and are likely to hold a full morning skate today. Forward Mathieu Olivier was assigned to the team s taxi squad on Saturday, and forward Calle Jarnkrok was placed on Injured Reserve Friday retroactive to Jan. 18.
