The Nashville Predators looked to rebound after a dispiriting loss to the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night. Their opponent: the Vancouver Canucks.
The Preds got out to a better start, putting some shots toward the net and getting some zone time before they went on the power play after Mikael Granlund drew a penalty. While the Preds’ power play threatened, they were unable to convert. Still, they kept pressing the attack after the power play ended.
Unfortunately, the Canucks’ first offensive look of the game—almost eight minutes into the period—took the Preds off guard, and while Juuse Saros made the initial saves, Matthew Highmore was able to score after a giveaway.
