The Predators opened the new era in Smashville at home tonight against the Seattle Kraken – how would the young team bounce back from the loss on Tuesday?
First Period
With the home crowd packing Bridgestone Arena, the Nashville Predators and Seattle Kraken dropped the puck and immediately got physical, leading two double penalties from Will Borgen and Filip Forsberg just 90 seconds into the period. Neither team could get anything going during the 4 on 4, but Seattle led in shots 3-2 after the first five minutes.
Still, the team was encouraging – the Predators were getting settled into the OZ easily, and the passing was much cleaner than the first game.
