The Nashville Predators hit the road tonight for a one-game trip, facing the also-struggling St. Louis Blues in Missouri.
Tommy Novak appeared to get the scoring started early, putting a rebound past a discombobulated Blues team just over two minutes in. Jeremy Lauzon had checked Noel Acciari, getting tangled up with him along the boards and sending Acciari to the ground in pain, before crashing into Jordan Binnington in the crease. Play wasn’t stopped for the Acciari injury, though he went down the tunnel as soon as the whistle sounded, but the Blues challenged the goal for interference and got it easily overturned.
