Predators 5, Stars 2
Three Stars
1. Pekka Rinne, Predators - Thirty-three saves. Gave the Stars no hope at all.
2. Filip Forsberg, Predators - Goal, assist, drove net hard
3. James Neal, Predators - Goal, assist, always around the puck
Big play
Tyler Seguin checked Filip Forsberg into goalie Kari Lehtonen late in the second period. Then, after John Klingberg pushed Forsberg into Lehtonen, Seguin jumped to Lehtonen's defense and he and Forsberg tumbled into the net in a wrestling match. It was a sign of the Stars' frustration.
