The puck spent most of the time between the two bluelines over the first five minutes of the game, but when the Habs were in the Predators zone they were firing at all cylinders and were able to jump to a 6-1 lead in shots within the first six minutes of the first period.
The Habs were doing everything right, putting up a good number of shots against one of the best shot-suppressing teams in the league. The hard work would not pay off, and at the 8:40 mark on only their third shot attempt and first shot on net of the game Nasvhille would take a 1-0 lead on one of the nicer goals you'll see this season.
