Despite holding a pair of early leads, the Preds were largely outplayed tonight and struggled to respond once the Canucks got established. Some great play by the Canucks’ defense and skilled play by their offense sealed the Preds’ fate. Here’s a look at how it went down.
Vancouver got out to a strong early start, but the Preds made a temporary recovery and got some offense of their own going. Spencer Stastney had one good chance early, and Luke Evangelista and Anthony Beauvillier almost connected for a goal, but Thatcher Demko made an even better save to keep Nashville off the board.
