Takeaways

Flyers: After a sleepy start to the third period in which they went a long stretch with just one shot on goal, the Flyers began putting pucks in the Nashville net and eventually got the tying goal in the final minute.

Predators: The Predators were seconds away from winning their third straight home game. The team struggled from the start of the season, including losing their first four at home. Gaining traction on home ice will be crucial in Nashville’s bid to make the playoffs.
