The Nashville Predators and Ottawa Senators faced off for the second time in the last week, this time in Canada. Both teams have gotten a little healthier since their last meeting, but they were both still missing several key players. The Preds had struggled on the road, and the Sens had been strong at home. In the end, it more or less worked out that way tonight as well.
Barely over a minute into the game, Roman Josi took a high-sticking penalty against Thomas Chabot, giving the Senators a chance on the power play—a game state where they have seen a lot of recent success.
