Even though Alexander Radulov has warranted the criticism he's received, he's not the only Predator playing poorly in the second-round series. Radulov has been criticized for the media for his play on defense, but coach Barry Trotz said there are a number of players who need to step up with the Preds in a 2-0 hole to the Coyotes. "There are guys that haven't contributed in any significant way in the last couple games here, be it scoring chances, be it defensive play, be it momentum, be it physicality, all the things. . It's just not good enough. We just have to up our game, plain and simple."
