The Nashville Predators turned in a sub-par effort against the Winnipeg Jets. Here’s what happened.
The first period was fast and furious. Both teams had several incredible chances. However, the Predators were lucky to have Pekka Rinne on their side...and Pekka Rinne was lucky to have the post on his. The Jets can count themselves lucky that Ryan Johansen decided to try a centering pass to Viktor Arvidsson as Connor Hellebuyck was exiting the blue paint. After the first frame, the teams were still 0-0.
The second period seemed to start off on the right foot for the Predators as Calle Järnkrok scored off of a deflection from a point shot from Mattias Ekholm.
