Ottawa Ontario, Canada – The Nashville Predators made a valiant effort to dig themselves out of a three-goal deficit tonight, only to lose in overtime against the Ottawa Senators, 4-3.
The Predators found themselves trailing 3-0 after the first period of play, causing coach Peter Laviolette to pull Pekka Rinne from goal to begin the second period.
The move sent a strong message to his team that he wasn’t happy with their lazy play of the opening frame.

Nashville, Tn — The Nashville Predators almost let this one get away, but in the end, Colton Sissons was able to score the game winner in overtime for the 4-3 Nashville win over the Vancouver Canucks.
It was a bit of sweet revenge for the Predators after the beatdown they suffered in Vancouver last week.
Nashville is still working their way through the injury bug with Viktor Arvidsson and P.K Subban still unavailable. The Predators did get Kyle Turris back in the lineup tonight for the win, and that meant Eeli Tolvanen was sent down to Milwaukee this morning.

Nashville, Tn — The Nashville Predators recovered from a disastrous Canadian road trip to defeat the Ottawa Senators at the Bridgestone Arena, 3-1.
The win in front of a noisy “Smashville” home crowd, was a much needed shot in the arm following two losses last week to Vancouver and Calgary. The injury plagued Predators have been finding ways to win without P.K Subban, Viktor Arvidsson and Kyle Turris, all on the injury list.
Ottawa scored first, just twenty six seconds into the contest on a mishandled shot by Pekka Rinne. Zack Smith’s backhand skipped over the outstretched glove of Rinne for the early 1-0 Ottawa lead.
