Can Nashville Predators Rebound After Setback Against Colorado Avalanche?

The Nashville Predators, with a record of 18-22, faced off against the Colorado Avalanche, who held a record of 21-19. In a high-scoring affair at Ball Arena, the final score read 7-4 in favor of the home team.

The Predators came out strong in the first period, netting three goals and setting an aggressive tone for the game. However, their powerplay unit struggled throughout the match, failing to convert on all five opportunities despite generating four shots during these advantages. The team's overall shooting percentage stood at eleven percent as they managed to put thirty-five shots on goal.

Defensively, Nashville's goaltending was tested as they faced forty-two shots from Colorado. The goaltender made thirty-five saves but ultimately took a loss as seven pucks found their way into the net—one being an empty-netter that sealed their fate. Despite this setback, Nashville's defense blocked eighteen attempts and delivered twenty-two hits in an effort to contain Colorado's offense.

On special teams aside from powerplay woes, Nashville also had difficulty while shorthanded; they allowed three goals during these situations out of ten shots faced by their penalty kill unit.

Looking ahead for the Predators fans who are eager to see how their team will bounce back can mark their calendars for April 3rd when Nashville hosts Boston Bruins at Bridgestone Arena. This upcoming contest is scheduled for 7:00 PM CT and will be available to watch on ESPN+, NESN and BSSO networks.
