The Predators, on the second half of a back-to-back, appeared ready to go against the Panthers. With Kyle Turris once again out of the lineup, the Predators iced the same lines from the Carolina game. The first power play of the evening went to Florida with Daniel Carr in the box. The Predators were able to kill off the Florida penalty with ease.
Florida was whistled for a penalty shortly after, and Nashville tried their hand on the man advantage. They were unable to sustain any sort of zone pressure. With Dan Hamhuis in the box, the Predators had to kill off a second Florida power play as the period drew to a close.
