The Nashville Predators returned home after a successful road trip to face off against the Colorado Avalanche; both teams entered on hot streaks and around the top of the Central (depending on your standard of measurement).
The Preds got out to a strong start, opening with some solid puck possession and chances that led to Tanner Jeannot scoring the opening goal of the game around two and a half minutes in.
Sadly, after that, the Predators got into penalty trouble, with first Dante Fabbro (newly back in the lineup) and then Eeli Tolvanen heading to the sin bin.
