Everyone knew this game would get off to an extremely quick start with an extremely fast pace and that is exactly what happened. It was certainly the fastest looking Nashville and Chicago have looked over the last week plus of the regular season and the opening two to three minutes set the tone for the rest of the night. The tone however was set by Nashville right off the bat.
The Blackhawks managed to control play for the first minute or so of the opening frame but after that the Predators completely controlled the play from there on until the end of the period.
