The Nashville Predators and Colorado Avalanche faced off in Denver tonight, with the Preds looking to build on a win and the Avs looking to erase a loss.
You could say both teams picked up where they left off in the third period last night: the Avalanche buried the Preds with a barrage of shots and high-danger chances, while the Preds let it happen. Mattias Ekholm, under pressure, took a penalty, and Mikko Rantanen made the Preds pay on the power play.
David Rittich, in net for the Preds, had to make a few big saves on big chances—including some turnovers, back to plague the Preds after Wednesday’s game against the Vegas Golden Knights.
