Subban: Predators will win Game 3, see what happens from there
A little taste of home may be just what the Nashville Predators need to get back into their Stanley Cup Final series with the Pittsburgh Penguins.
The old sports adage is a playoff series isn't truly in jeopardy until a team drops a game at home, and immediately following a Game 2 loss, defenseman P.K. Subban said it's his team's turn to take care of business.
"Right away the focus shifts to, 'We don't lose in our building,'" Subban told reporters, per Sportsnet. "So we're going back home, we're going to win the next game, and then we'll see what happens from there."
Despite the two losses, the Predators have largely been driving possession and hold a 64-39 advantage in shots, but Subban wasn't willing to dwell on what went wrong both contests.
"Our focus is our next game, and that's it," Subban reiterated. "We're getting ready for the next game; we win that one and then we move forward."
Game 3 is set for Saturday, and Nashville will play host to its first Cup Final contest.
