The Nashville Predators dominated most of the play, but the Pittsburgh Penguins found a way to come out on top.
High Scoring First Period
Nashville nearly opened the scoring with a PK Subban one-timer, but the goal didn’t stand. Coach Mike Sullivan challenged the goal as offsides, and the goal was overturned.
A few minutes later, the Penguins got a great scoring opportunity. Calle Jarnkrok and James Neal were called for interference and cross-checking, respectively, at the same time. The Pens managed to score on their 5-on-3 when Evgeni Malkin hammered a shot past Nashville netminder Pekka Rinne.
