Craig Smith started the scoring in the first period to give the Preds the early lead. That lead did not last long as the Stars scored seconds later with a goal from Antoine Roussel. In the second period, Calle Jarnkrok scored a goal to give the Predators the lead back once again. Shea Weber added an insurance marker later in that period to give the Preds a 3-1 lead. Mattias Ekholm put one into the net shortly after Weber's goal. Jason Spezza cut the lead in half on a 5-on-3 powerplay.
