The Nashville Predators were back in action tonight, facing the Vancouver Canucks on the road in the first late-late game of the season. Ryan O’Reilly played his 1000th NHL game tonight, the Canucks wore their autumnal third jerseys, and the puck dropped at a mere 9:11 PM Central.
Liam Foudy got an early chance to put the Preds on the board when he was awarded a penalty shot, but his skate caught on the ice and he didn’t manage a good look on Thatcher Demko. Sam Lafferty was the first to score, putting Vancouver on the board at 13:45, but Colton Sissons got it back less than two minutes later, tying the game at one.
