Smashed in Smashville: Panthers close road trip with ugly 7-3 loss to Predators

The Florida Panthers got battered 7-3 by the Nashville Predators in Music City to end its four-game road trip on a sour note.

After falling behind at 2:36 of the first when Tommy Novak came off the boards and scored unassisted, the Panthers quickly responded to take the lead.

Former Predator Nick Cousins, who was playing in his 500th NHL, gathered up a loose puck and beat Kevin Lankinen unassissted from the high slot at 7:55. Way to make the most of a milestone! The goal ended a 15-game drought for Cousins.

A goal in game No.
