That deficit is no more.
"We were in a tough hole against a really good team, came home and took care of the home games with the help of all our great fans", Rinne said.
Frederick Gaudreau sure is doing his best to earn his own locker with the Nashville Predators with a Stanley Cup Final debut for the ages. "I know a lot of people travel for work, but at this point I just don't like being gone". As we all have seen, fans of both teams can get rather rambunctious. "So I think all those things are weighed to a point where hopefully good decisions are made". The Predators and Penguins both had 24 shots by game's end.
NOTES: The Predators used the same lineup as they did in Game 2, scratching LW Cody McLeod as well as C Vern Fiddler ...
Here are the listings for tonight's game, according to NHL.com.
Crosby said the next game is key.
Following a pair of frustrating losses in Pittsburgh to open the series, Nashville rebounded with a pair of dominating performances on home ice, including a 4-1 victory as -138 chalk in Game 4 to even the series at two games apiece going into Thursday night's Predators versus Penguins betting matchup at PPG Paints Arena.
He's far from the only unexpected contributor for Nashville during these playoffs. The superstar forward scored in Game 4 after five consecutive games without a goal. He's played well throughout the postseason, to be fair, but his 20+ minutes of ice time a night just isn't working for the Penguins. Since the Predators are headed back to Bridgestone Arena for Game 6, Rinne will nearly certainly be back in the net.
Their two scariest remaining offensive players only just got in on the action in Game 4.
Calle Jarnkrok, Viktor Arvidsson and Filip Forsberg also tallied for Nashville, which improved to 9-1 at home. Crosby, who had three assists, is now tied for fourth place in league history with his 56th multi-point playoff game.

However Labour's advances under Corbyn's leadership combined by endemic Tory divisions reveal our road back to government. Labour needs to recognise that without its former seats there it has nearly no prospect of gaining a majority.
So, the fact that Crosby once again showed up and played arguably his best game of the playoffs on Thursday wasn't necessarily the story in a 6-0 Game 5.
"We made mistakes in front of him", Laviolette said. "Those are your only two choices".
Pittsburgh will host Nashville at 8 p.m. ET on Thursday evening, looking to pull ahead in a series now tied at two games apiece.
Sidney Crosby scored the Penguins only goal that way, beating Rinne on a first period breakaway. But just as the Predators started to gain some structure in their game, Evgeni Malkin wristed a top-shelf shot past goalie Pekka Rinne late in the first period.
With time winding down in the first period, P.K. Subban wrestled Crosby to the ground and grabbed hold of his leg, preventing Crosby from getting up. Schultz's goal game on the power play, which was the Penguins' first power play goal since Game 1 and their second of the series.
Maybe the biggest difference to the Predators though is goaltending.
It may be time to for the Penguins to consider making a change in goal, as Matt Murray has looked a step slow in net after two strong games to begin the series.
Asked twice Tuesday if he planned on reevaluating his goaltending situation after Matt Murray allowed eight goals in Nashville, Sullivan stressed "we haven't lost games because of our goaltending".
"This is obviously a great win, a great feeling", said Hainsey, "but come tomorrow it's got to be parked because we have to get one more win".
