Nashville forward Patric Hornqvist had the second assist on the game-winner and tacked on a goal of his own off of a tip-in in the third period.

Nashville gave up an early goal to Chicago’s Marian Hossa, but, as Hornqvist mentioned, Craig Smith put Nashville on the board two minutes later with a power play tally. Most importantly, the Predators allowed Chicago only two first period shots – the fewest of any opponent this season.
