It brings us closer to 90 now without teams catching up to us." Viktor Stalberg opened the scoring for the Predators with 8:25 left in the first period. Hiller blocked Victor Bartleys slap shot, but Stalberg was there to fling a shot over the sprawling goalie. Mike Fisher also bested Hiller on a power-play goal early in the third period for a brief 2-2 tie. Otherwise, Hiller thwarted Nashvilles best chances all night. In the second period, he made a play on a slap shot by Shea Weber that knocked the stick out of Hillers hands. Later, he emphatically snatched a wrist shot by Ryan Ellis. Hiller, who entered ranked 30th in the league with a .917 save percentage, will head to Sochi to play for Switzerland in his second Olympics. "I thought Hiller was a big difference," Trotz said. "I thought we played a real solid game and the most scoring chances weve created on any team this year was against the No. 1 team in the league." Despite just 24 shots by the Ducks, the Predators lost their third straight. Nashville will try to climb up from the bottom of the Central Division when it returns from the break.
