Once the St. Louis Blues finished off a gritty win over the Chicago Blackhawks, they had to turn their attention to the Nashville Predators, who had creamed them just a few days prior in Nashville. Unfortunately, the Blues got off to their customary poor start.
The Predators scored just 27 seconds into the game. Filip Forsberg got the goal from the left circle once he backed off the crease, and the Blues could not react to the pass.
The Blues were gifted a chance to get something going with a power play just a couple of shifts after that Predators' goal.
