The Nashville Predators, hoping to build on their recent success, faced the Winnipeg Jets tonight.
Pierre-Luc Dubois got the scoring started 48 seconds in, tapping in an easy backdoor chance to put the Jets up 1-0. This was followed up on the next shift with a fight between Logan Stanley and Alexandre Carrier in response to Stanley’s hit on Cody Glass; Carrier fairly resoundingly lost the fight. The Jets continued to press the attack, peppering Saros with shots throughout the period and maintaining extensive zone time.
Nashville got out to a better start to the second, despite an early delay-of-game penalty from Mattias Ekholm, and Glass finally rewarded them for their play with a goal a little under fourteen minutes into the period.
