The Nashville Predators took on the Detroit Red Wings tonight in a battle of futures. Kevin Gravel re-entered the Preds’ lineup as Ryan McDonagh sat out with an injury.
The Red Wings got an early power play when Matt Duchene took a tripping penalty, but the Preds were able to counterattack on the penalty kill, forcing Moritz Seider to take a hold. The Preds got some good chances both on the 4v4 and the 5v4, but the teams returned to full strength without a score.
Kiefer Sherwood then gave the Red Wings an unabbreviated power play by taking a slashing penalty, but once again the Preds were able to kill it off, then get back on the attack.
