NASHVILLE - Early in the night, there was plenty of doubt, both sides showing signs of weakness in the battleground areas.
As the fight wore on, though, it was the Nashville Predators who gained strength and momentum, eventually finishing off the Ottawa Senators with a 3-1 victory.
Long-time Senators nemesis P.K. Subban may have moved on from Montreal, but he remains a thorn in the the Senators’ side, helping turn the tide with a goal and an assist in a three-minute span early in the second period.
James Neal and Ryan Ellis also scored for the Predators.
