Both the Nashville Predators and Philadelphia Flyers played day games yesterday, with the Flyers game kicking off an hour earlier (and ending about two hours sooner). The Flyers had a decisive 3-1 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks while the Predators fell in overtime to the New Jersey Devils in a game that they dominated until they didn’t.
The Predators fell twice to the Flyers last season, first in Philadelphia on an overtime powerplay goal from Shayne Gostisbehere, and again at home in a game I had honestly blocked out of my memory.
