The Nashville Predators fell to to the Tampa Bay Lightning Saturday night, a game in which they looked finished by the start of the third period.
It turned out the Predators had plenty of fight left in them at the end, but it was too little too late, as their valiant late game effort ended in a disappointing 4-3 defeat.
They return to business Monday tonight, as they remain in Tampa Bay to complete the second of their first two-game series against the Lightning.
