The Nashville Predators lost to the Arizona Coyotes 4-1 tonight. It was painful to watch as Mike Smith made 42 saves, stopping the Preds at every turn. The Preds defense was terrible once again, letting a flurry of chances get to Pekka Rinne, with four of them going in the net
It was an eventful 1st period as the Coyotes scored two goals to go up 2-0, one by Alex Goligoski and one by Laurent Dauphin. After some inconsistent play by the Preds, Roman Josi finally got the gold team on the board with a shot that deflected off of a Coyote defender and in.
