Predators step up and earn win
Posted on May 2, 2012

Who else would score the first goal — and give Nashville its first lead of the series — besides David Legwand, the team’s original draft pick and all-time leading scorer?
Who else would pick the pocket of a Phoenix defenseman and initiate a second goal besides Martin Erat, the franchise’s second all-time leading scorer?
And who else would come up with the spectacular saves at the end besides Pekka Rinne, the two-time Vezina Trophy finalist?
