SPECTACULAR SAROS • Juuse Saros stopped 24 of 26 Arizona shots to earn his first career postseason win in his second career postseason start. • He became the fifth different goaltender in Predators history to record a playoff win, joining Pekka Rinne (45 wins), Tomas Vokoun (3), Dan Ellis (2) and Chris Mason (1). • Should Saros start for the Preds in Wednesday’s Game 3, it would be the first time in his career starting both games of a back-to-back. • Saros stopped all of Arizona’s first 24 shots of Game 2; the Coyotes scored on their final two shots of the game.

The Preds went 4-3-1 in the second half of a back-to-back in the 2019-20 regular season. • The Predators moved to 2-3 all-time in neutral-site games in the regular season and playoffs (designated as a game played in an arena that does not normally served as either team’s home ice). • Four current Preds players have dressed in all 63 of Nashville’s postseason games since 2015: Mattias Ekholm, Ryan Ellis, Filip Forsberg and Roman Josi.
