The Nashville Predators played their first Prospect game against the Tampa Bay Lightning in Estero, Florida Saturday night. It’s hard to believe, but the Preds players actually played well but lost badly. In the end, the Lightning earned their first win of the tournament against the Preds prospects with the final score being 5-1.
The Predators started the game well and took the early lead on a beautiful one-time shot by Kevin Fiala from the right circle during the Power Play. He zipped the shot just inside the post against goaltender Kristers Gudlevskis.
