After a tough fought win against the Vegas Golden Knights on Friday, the Florida Panthers made their way to Smashville to take on the Nashville Predators. Considering the contest was Florida’s second game of a back to back, I was expecting the Predators to take this one easily. After all, the Predators were well rested, having not played since their Thursday night victory over Arizona.
Early in the first, it appeared like the Predators were going to have a dominant performance after Kevin Fiala scored 33 seconds in. However, the confidence I was feeling before the game wouldn’t last very long, as the Cats turned on the pressure and would keep their foot on the gas.
