  • The Preds jumped out to an early lead with a goal from Luke Evangelista. A great play by Mark Del Gaizo to draw a penalty was followed up by another great play from the youth line to put Nashville on the board.
  • The Avalanche came roaring back in the second period, using a power play to set up a goal from Devon Toews just after the teams returned to even strength and then later with another goal from powerhouse Mikko Rantanen.
  • Nashville finished the second in better shape than they had started it, earning another power play and putting pressure on the Avs before running out of time.
  • Colton Sissons started the third period by finishing off a play from Roman Josi to tie the game 2-2.
  • Both teams tried hard to close out the game in regulation, with the Avs applying pressure in waves and Josi making a spectacular solo play, but neither could pull it off.
  • In overtime, Brady Skjei lost his footing and the puck, and Samuel Girard took advantage of the mistake by retrieving the puck and getting it past Juuse Saros.
