Nashville Predators: Victory After Defensive War in Philly
Only a single goal was scored in Philadelphia last night. Just seven games into the season, the Nashville Predators have completed a sweep of the Flyers.
In their previous contest this season, the Nashville Predators and Philadelphia Flyers combined for eleven goals. The game was out of hand defensively, and many were expecting another high scoring night in the two teams’ second matchup.
In reality, it was anything but.
The Flyers came out hot, controlling puck possession until about midway through the first period. From then on, shot production shifted gradually to the Predators’ favor, especially in even-strength situations.
