The Predators lost in regulation for the first time in over two weeks, falling to the Flames 4-3 despite yet another late comeback.
With Kyle Turris out with an illness, the lines were a bit scrambled. Calle Jarnkrok took Turris’ seat on the 2nd line, and Pontus Aberg got the start on the 4th line.
There was a lot more energy and pace to Nashville’s game early on. Ryan Johansen put the Preds up 1-0 with a tap-in goal after a power play had expired.
