The Nashville Predators headed to Florida, accompanied by the dads, to take on the Tampa Bay Lightning tonight.
The Lightning came out ready for blood, and drew it fast. Brayden Point scored just over a minute in, on a high-speed play that wasn’t even the Bolts’ first good chance of the game, and the Preds couldn’t get their skates back under them. They looked discombobulated, with Saros seeming uncertain; they played discombobulated, eventually taking a too-many-men penalty. Corey Perry scored 27 seconds into the Lightning power play, 2:53 into the game, giving the Bolts a commanding early 2-0 lead.
