Not much was expected out of the Carolina Hurricanes this season, and theyve lived down to expectations, hampered in part by a brutal early-season schedule that put them on the road for eight of their first 10 games.A lot was expected from the Nashville Predators, but theyve not lived up to expectations, caused partly by a difficult early schedule of their own. They played three back-to-backs and spent seven of their first 10 games away from Music City.Carolina (2-4-3) and Nashville try to correct their early difficulties Saturday night when they meet at Bridgestone Arena, the start of a four-game homestand for the Predators (3-5-2).Fittingly, both are coming off losses on the road. The Hurricanes fell 2-1 Tuesday night in overtime at Ottawa, while Nashville wrapped up a poor 1-2-2 road trip with a 3-2 shootout defeat Thursday night against Arizona.The Predators latest loss was irritating to coach Peter Laviolette, who saw his team outshoot the Coyotes 18-7 in the first period and 37-28 for the match. But they went just 1-of-7 on the power play, including a misfire to end overtime, and then went out quickly in the shootout.The power play had a really good first period and had a lot of shots and chances, defenseman Roman Josi said. We just couldnt convert and then we didnt shoot the puck enough after that.It was an appropriate end to a road trip which saw Nashville get outscored 17-11 and lose twice after regulation, continuing last seasons unwelcome trend of settling for loser points. The Predators lost 14 times in overtime or shootouts.We let a game get away, Laviolette said.As for Carolina, it wasnt feeling quite as upset with its most recent defeat, going toe-to-toe with one of the Eastern Conferences surprise teams before Kyle Turris goal at 3:09 of overtime decided matters.The Hurricanes played a tighter brand of hockey after allowing 30 goals in their first eight matches, outshooting the Senators 33-32 and getting 30 saves from Cam Ward in one of his better outings of the season.Weve been fluctuating up and down, good games and bad, and tonight was a solid effort, center Jordan Staal said. We may not have got the result but we definitely played the way we want to play. We were tight on our forecheck and in the neutral zone tight on guys and causing turnovers.It was more like the way Carolina played last season, when it mounted a surprising run at an Eastern Conference playoff spot before falling short down the stretch.Not all the Hurricanes numbers have been bad. Theyve a top five team in adjusted Corsi percentage, and have a top 10 power play and penalty kill. But Ward and backup goalie Eddie Lack have combined for a brutal .900 adjusted save percentage.Coach Bill Peters is hoping his team can build on their game in Ottawa.The effort was good, probably one of our better efforts for 60 minutes, 65 minutes, 64, whatever it was, he said. I liked the effort. I liked the execution. We shot the puck and we stayed on it early.Fake Vans For Sale . -- Ty Montgomery had 290 all-purpose yards and two touchdowns, and fifth-ranked Stanford held on to beat No. Fake Vans Cheap .
