The Predators gave everyone in Bridgestone Arena a nice scare last night.
Despite being the overwhelming favorites in their series against the Avalanche, the Avs took two different leads in Game 1. The Avs’ speed looked to be overwhelming the Preds for the most part and for 40 minutes it looked like they might steal the first game.
Thanks to two Forsberg goals—one of which will be on the highlight reel for a long time—the Predators took a lead that they wouldn’t give up. Pekka Rinne made 25 saves on his way to his 37th career win in the playoffs.
