The Nashville Predators returned home to face the Winnipeg Jets tonight in a game that had much higher stakes for the visiting team.
In spite of that, the Preds got off to a strong start, putting on some early pressure. Mikael Granlund scored less than four minutes into the game, thanks to a gorgeous assist from Filip Forsberg, and shortly after that Ryan Johansen drew a holding penalty. After Juuse Saros had to come up with a big save, Matt Duchene gave the Preds the early 2-0 lead on that power play.
After that, however, things began to deteriorate.
