The Nashville Predators managed to stay hot Tuesday night in Detroit, fighting it out until the very end to earn a determined 3-2 shootout win.
With the injuries continuing to pile up for the Predators, this matchup even against the last-place Detroit Red Wings seemed like a tall order.
How it unfolded
Things looked somewhat bleak for the Predators in this contest, as they fell behind 1-0 late in the first due to an unlucky bounce off of Mattias Ekholm‘s leg, and could not capitalize on some high-quality chances in the 2nd period.
