The Ducks can safely add Filip Forsberg to their list of nemeses even though their Western Conference first-round playoff series against the Nashville Predators is only one game old.
Forsberg delivered a hit that knocked out Ducks defenseman Josh Manson in the first period, then got the game-winning goal on a pass that went in off Ducks defenseman Shea Theodore’s skate with 9:35 left.
Nashville held on for a 3-2 win Friday at the Honda Center in a terrifically even opening game that showed how close a series this can be.
Forsberg grabbed the puck from pinching Ducks defenseman Simon Despres and rushed down the left side to set up the goal.
