The Predators put together a fantastic outing in Colorado tonight, beating the Avalanche by a score of 5-1.
Craig Smith got things started with a rare early goal for the Preds. His deflection in front of Semyon Varlamov put the good guys up 1-0 early. A few minutes later, Jarome Iginla tied things up after he put home a rebound in front of Rinne. Near the end of the 1st period, Matt Irwin scored his first goal as a Predator, wristing one by Varlamov.
