Things got off to a great start as the B’s attacked Nashville straight out of the gate with a singleminded determination to not be brought down to the Preds’ level. The B’s cashed in their first goal of the night from local magnate of trade and moral discussion, Jake DeBrusk! Who walked into the high slot and put a bullet past Saros with his defender right in his face! 1-0 B’s!
Swayman would take over as both sides traded chances, but nobody would change the score outright, leading to the end of the period.
