Five days earlier, the Dallas Stars came to Nashville and picked up two important points over the Predators.
The second meeting in less than a week took a little longer to settle, and the Predators ended up with two points as Ryan Johansen’s overtime winner gave Nashville a 3-2 victory to halt Dallas’ five-game winning streak.
What the visitors saw on Thursday was quite different from what went down last weekend, as least in the personnel department, with newly-acquired Brian Boyle, newly-reacquired Cody McLeod and finally-back-off-IR Kyle Turris in the lineup.
