NHL Playoffs 2017: Full Dates and TV Schedule for Conference Finals Round

The Nashville Predators proved they know how to get off to a good start on the road.

The eighth-seeded Predators jumped out to a 1-0 series advantage in the Western Conference Final against the Anaheim Ducks as a result of their 3-2 overtime victory Friday night.

The Preds spotted Jakob Silfverberg and the Ducks the first goal in the game, but there was no panic from Peter Laviolette's team. They tied it shortly after the midway point of the first period on a goal by Filip Forsberg, and they moved ahead in the second period on an Austin Watson shot that eluded Anaheim goalie John Gibson.
