Facing a 2-1 series deficit, the second home game of the series was a must-win for the Predators, and with Dante Fabbro entering the lineup for the injured Spencer Statsney and a surprise goaltender switch for Vancouver, would Nashville be able to respond in an important Game 4?
First Period
Another high-energy start from the fans, once again raining down six catfish on the ice prior to puck drop. However, that wouldn’t translate on the ice, as the Canucks scored on their first shot of the night, with Brock Boeser getting the puck past Juuse Saros. However, the Predators were not deterred, playing a lot looser than in the first three games of the series and applying some early pressure despite the deficit.
