Clarksville, Tn — The Nashville Predators manhandled the Winnipeg Jets tonight with a 4-0 shutout victory in front of a sold out “white out” crowd in Winnipeg.
The win forces a game 7 in Nashville on Thursday night.
The Nashville penalty kill was superb against the Jets, and it had to be since there was only one penalty called against the Jets all night. The Predators fought off six minutes of penalties in the first period alone.
