Nashville Predators 3, Colorado Avalanche 2: Shake It Off
Well, that was a roller coaster of emotions.
The Nashville Predators, previously never having scored first in this series, built a 3-0 lead and hung on to win 3-2 over the Colorado Avalanche tonight at Denver’s Pepsi Center.
The first twenty minutes were the best start that the Predators have had to a game this series. Although they had nothing to show for it until a wundergoal by Filip Forsberg, the Predators came out with speed and pace that was not present in the first three games. The Avalanche were very limited to the outside of the net. However, the power play continued to be of ECHL quality as the Predators squandered away a golden 5v3 to start the game.
