The Predators overcame a 2-0 deficit to beat the Avalanche 3-2 in a feisty afternoon game at the Pepsi Center. Despite more (yes, more) injury concerns in this game, the Preds were able to scrape together a nice road win with some replacement players.
The Preds had a couple shaky moments in the 1st period. First, Gabriel Landeskog scored a strange goal from the corner to put the Avs up 1-0. The puck bounced in off Rinne’s skate, but that’s hockey, I guess. Then, a few minutes later, Filip Forsberg was taken down hard by Nikita Zadorov.
