NASHVILLE — The power play helped the Colorado Avalanche salvage a point and turned a regulation loss into a coin toss.
For the fourth time in as many tries this season, the shootout did not flip the Avs’ way. This one took a scary turn though.
Ryan O’Reilly scored the lone shootout goal for the Nashville Predators in a 4-3 victory Tuesday night at Bridgestone Arena. O’Reilly scored as the first shooter, but then Filip Forsberg crashed into Avs goalie Scott Wedgewood during the second attempt.
Wedgewood was down for a bit, but stayed in the game and faced Nashville’s third shooter, Steven Stamkos.
