The Nashville Predators played the Colorado Avalanche in a COVID-19 ridden game. With AHL players aplenty and all of the Preds’ coaching staff missing, this was certainly an interesting contest. What happened, who stood out, and why did this game matter? All of this and more tomorrow.
What went right?
Almost everything, outside of allowing a few goals. The Predators controlled the pace of this game the entire way until midway through the third period, and even after a brief onslaught of scoring chances and a second Colorado goal, they managed to find an insurance marker to keep victory at arm’s length from the visitors.
