The Preds had a chance to stave off elimination again and force a high-pressure Game 7, but were unable to beat Canucks goalie Arturs Silovs, or, ultimately, themselves.
Nashville opened the game strong with some zone time and a pair of good early chances from Anthony Beauvillier and Filip Forsberg, before yielding the zone to Vancouver with another one of the changes of pressure we’ve seen this series. A scuffle broke out in front of Juuse Saros, as JT Miller got hauled out of the paint and Pius Suter briefly got scruffed by Jeremy Lauzon.
The Canucks kept up the pressure, and Quinn Hughes almost converted on a great in-tight pass from Brock Boeser but was foiled by the angle of the shot; the puck slid almost along the goal line and safely away.
