The Nashville Predators went on the road to play the second game in two days, this one against the Minnesota Wild.
The teams traded chances early, before a fight broke out between Marcus Foligno and Luke Kunin about five minutes into the period. A minute or so after that, Ryan Johansen committed a slashing penalty, sending the Preds to the penalty kill, but the Preds’ penalty kill held firm.
Moments later, Filip Forsberg drew first blood, scoring his 30th of the season. The Preds responded well, going back on the attack, but when the Wild got hold of the puck a lucky shot to the corner of David Rittich’s net allowed Matt Boldy to score and tie the game.
