In a re-match, the Predators and Canucks faced off tonight in Bridgestone Arena.
Ryan Hartman opened up the scoring for Nashville with a wicked wrist shot around a Vancouver defender. With his teammates changing behind him, Hartman carried the puck into the Canucks’ zone and zipped a puck past Anders Nilsson for his ninth goal of the season.
Nick Bonino put Nashville up by two with 11:20 remaining in the first period on a gorgeous feed from Colton Sissons. Vancouver was awarded the first power play of the evening, and with around 37 seconds remaining in the penalty, Pekka Rinne was whistled for a trip.
