The Preds got out to a great start early, with Roman Josi going end to end to score his 20th of the year just 31 seconds into the game. As with their last few games, the question was whether the Preds would be able to keep it up. This time, they managed it–barely.
The Blues got a power play moments after Josi’s goal, as Colton Sissons took a hooking penalty, but Nashville was able to kill it off. The Blues continued to press, though, and Brandon Saad tied the game 1-1 at 7:27, off a beautiful passing play.
