NASHVILLE — The Colorado Avalanche controlled its first game back from the 2025 4 Nations Face-Off break, but the inability to convert chances into enough goals at times returned as well.
Juuse Saros made 31 saves to help the Nashville Predators hold off the Avs in a 2-1 win Saturday night at Bridgestone Arena.
Jonathan Marchessault put Nashville in front midway through the third period. Luke Schenn’s shot from the right point went wide, but the carom off the back boards came right to Marchessault near the left post, and was able to tuck it into the net before Avs goalie Scott Wedgewood could recover.
