A Day Late, A Dollar Short: Predators 4, Hawks 3 (OT)

Full disclosure - my broadcast was interrupted many, many times, so I missed large chunks of this one, so all I'll do is note a few observations.
Track Meet Trick.  As they did vs. CAL The Hawks were lured into playing a bit more wide open than they should or can do.  Witness Arvidsson's frequent bolts from the NASH zone one of which was executed perfectly, not only resulting in a goal but, coming mere seconds after The Hawks had tied the affair at ones, set back our momentum for a spell. He got a bit greedy, though, and was caught well out of position on the sequence leading up to Large Arthur's late goal.  Nevertheless, The Hawks might have been wiser to play it more cautiously and hope for a bounce, as they spent far too much time chasing down Arvidsson & Forsberg et al.
Better Off Without Seabrook?  Scratched due to illness, Seabrook was replaced by Davidson, who had another decent outing, his last shift being his best  as he made things very tough on The Preds forwards.  I'd hoped we'd see the second PP unit a little more just to get a sense of what that would look like without Mr. Ponderous slowing things down to a crawl but it was not to be.  I'd love to see Jokiharju get a crack at that gig, a low-risk proposition given Seab's zero contribution in that role, lately.
Newish Line Combos were trotted out and I mostly approved.  DeBrincat moving up the order makes perfect sense, since all of his recent points have been gleaned on the PP and I was pleasantly surprised by the Saad - Kampf - Caggiula trio.  I'm not sure that line has the hands to really shine but they were the only Hawks line entirely at or above 50% Corsi and, at the very least, The Preds failed to generate much against those three.
Duncan Keith had his best game in a month or more.
Dylan Strome, meanwhile, remains frustrating.  For all the offense that he eventually provides the missed opportunities due to gacked passes that should be easy is pissing me off.  With just a little more care he could be doubling his and his linemates' opportunities.

Next: At home vs. Vegas on Saturday and a shot at some redemption after being comprehensively roughed up when they last met.
