RECAP: Boston Bruins fall to Nashville Predators, 5-3

This game wasn’t entirely awful, but... it could’ve been worse?

First Period

REAL early, David Pastrnak had a beautiful dangle right in front of Predators goaltender Juuse Saros but couldn’t elevate a between-the-legs circus shot. Moments later, the Bruins’ defense couldn’t clear the zone, letting up an early goal by Craig Smith off the B’s third clearing-attempt turnover in as many seconds.

Noted Brenemy Alexei Emelin laid a heavy hit on Marchand, and Zdeno Chara returned the favor with several hits on Emelin’s teammates in the early parts of the period.
