Nashville Predators 3, Florida Panthers 2: Salomaki’s Back!
Miikka Salomaki’s goal with 1:53 remaining in overtime gave the Predators a split of their preseason doubleheader with Florida at Bridgestone Arena on Tuesday.
Florida won game one 5-3 and led 1-0 in the second game before Salomaki and Colton Sissons’ second-period goals gave Nashville a 2-1 lead after 40 minutes.
Pekka Rinne made 10 saves on 11 shots before departing just past the midway point of the second period, giving Anders Lindback his first action in a Preds uniform since the 2011-12 season.
Lindback’s clearing attempt in the third bounced off of Jared McCann with 7:11 left in regulation to tie the game.
