The Nashville Predators started off the game proving why they have the identity of a team that’s hard to play against. Booming hits from Mark Borowiecki and company accented aggressive forechecking and tenacious play in the corners and on the boards. Despite the intensity, the Predators only had 5 shots on goal to the Carolina Hurricanes’ 3 mid-way through the first. Each team had around 1 quality chance. Borowiecki spent the entirety of the first broadcast timeout wincing in pain on the bench and talking with an athletic trainer, and eventually went down the tunnel about 9 minutes into the game.
