Nashville defenseman skated in his 1,000th NHL game tonight, but perhaps bigger in his mind was the search for the Predators’ first win of the 2024-25 season.
First Period
After spending the first three games of the season taking and maintaining a large lead in shots on goal, it would take a long time before Nashville could get a single one on the board. Finally, after trailing 9-0 in the category, the Predators would find paydirt not too much longer, after a Roman Josi point shot would get deflected in by Filip Forsberg, picking up his second of the season and giving the Predators their first lead of the season, 1-0 with 8:14 left in the first.
