Silovs becoming a story as the Predators rack up quality looks here in the second period. He's making some difficult stops calmly. #Canucks
Predators spring a two-on-one, but the #Canucks - as they did throughout Game 4 - take away the pass and force the shot. Silovs makes the stop. Nashville looks like they've found their footing in the first couple shifts of the second.
