The Nashville Predators and Colorado Avalanche both headed to Denver last night after wrapping up a game further east. The Preds had a satisfying 4-2 victory over the New Jersey Devils, though they definitely did let the Devils back into the game at the end, while the Avalanche had a rough first period before recovering just enough to lose 3-1 to the Dallas Stars.
The Nashville Predators
With their win last night, the Preds are back to just barely treading water at .500. We saw lights-out defensive play through the first two periods, along with an offense that was focused on getting to the front of the net where the dangerous chances live.
