A wounded caravan of hockey players headed to Nashville in search of a win. The Colorado Avalanche played the Nashville Predators close for most of the game but couldn’t capitalize on their chances and fell 5-2, which is now their third loss in a row.
The Game
It was a cautious start for two teams still looking to find their groove in this early season. While the Predators held a slight edge in shots 10-8 through a scoreless first 20 minutes of play the Avalanche had some of the more dangerous chances. Sam Girard saw a puck roll across the goal line and Joel Kiviranta shot a onetimer right at Juuse Saros but neither puck found the back of the net.
