It’s no secret that the Nashville Predators were coming into this rivalry matchup against the St. Louis Blues hungry. With no wins on home ice or even in North America, it was about time that the gold and navy secured one, and they did.
What Happened?
After news broke that Eeli Tolvanen was a healthy scratch, fans were rightfully upset, but the performance on the ice without him was not a problem as the game went on. The Predators didn’t get off to a good start at all. Within the first two and a half minutes, they gave up a goal to Robert Thomas and took a penalty to give them a power play.
