Tonight’s game between the Predators and the Ducks started slow, before picking up speed in a really unfortunate way as Juuso Pärssinen and Trevor Zegras collided, a tangle which led to Zegras needing help off the ice.
Halfway through the first, the Preds got a chance on the power play after a very strong shift from the top line and top pairing, which ended with Roman Josi drawing a tripping penalty from Ryan Strome. The Preds got some zone time on the power play, but didn’t score, and Strome intercepted a pass on his way out of the penalty box and immediately put it past Juuse Saros to get the Ducks on the board at 11:12.
