The Nashville Predators wrecked their chance to pull even with the Colorado Avalanche in their opening-round series in Game 2.
On Thursday night, Nashville started the third period with a tw0-man advantage, failing to capitalize despite the Avs playing two men short for 1:50. Nothing materialized the rest of the game for the Preds and they went on to lose in overtime.
Now, the series shifts back to Nashville, where the Preds can match lines with the Avalanche to limit their prolific offense. The Predators could also be getting a boost between the pipes, furthering their cause in Game 3.
