The Nashville Predators and Florida Panthers both entered tonight looking to build off a comeback win against a team out of playoff contention; only one team would be able to manage it.
The Panthers got out to a strong early start, getting some chances and setting up in the Preds’ zone. Alexandre Carrier was goaded into taking a penalty, then lost his stick while Luke Kunin tripped over a Panthers player, and before the Preds could regain possession and get the whistle Carter Verhaeghe was able to score.
However, moments later, Ryan Johansen evened the score.
