However, it didn’t seem to be in the cards for tonight. The Predators would tie the game at 1 in the third period, but ultimately lost in the shootout dropping them to 10-9-6 on the season. The game wasn’t the only loss for Nashville as leading point scorer Colin Wilson was lost to an upper body injury during the second period, the second Predators forward to fall to an upper body injury in the past two games (Hornqvist was knocked out of play last night vs Edmonton) “[Wilson and Hornqvist] are playing hard and things happen. It’s a physical game and we’ll have to go through it. We will have to do it as a group,” said Coach Barry Trotz. The Wild would get on the board first with a powerplay goal midway in the second period. Zach Parise tipped in a Ryan...

Saturday’s loss to Wild suggests Nashville’s offense on Friday was just an anomaly…

The Nashville Predators have had all kinds of problems finding the back of the net this season.

David Legwand beats Devan Dubnyk on one-hopper from the red line

Nashville Predators forward David Legwand was dumping the puck in for a line-change late in the first period.  Legwand flipped the puck in the air, and as it was on edge, it skipped at the hash marks and went off the bottom of Edmonton Oilers goalie Devan Dybnyk’s glove into the net.  Pucks that are on edge and bounce right in front of you are extremely difficult for goalies...
