The Nashville Predators looked to build off a win Tuesday night tonight against the Edmonton Oilers, while the Oilers were fighting for their playoff lives.
The Oilers got off to a good start, in spite of Jesse Puljujarvi taking a penalty less than a minute in. It gave the Predators a power play opportunity, but the Oilers’ penalty kill worked aggressively up the ice and seemed to spend most of their 4v5 time in the Preds’ end.
However, Filip Forsberg scored the first goal of the game, making it up the ice and jump-starting the Preds’ attack before finishing it off with his 200th career goal.
