Second Period

As the second period unfolded, it was Nashville that broke the deadlock. Despite Ottawa's efforts and maintaining control over faceoffs with an impressive 71 percent win rate overall, they couldn't find their way past Juuse Saros in goal for Nashville. The Sens' powerplay opportunities went unconverted during this period as well.

Third Period

The final period saw an increase in intensity from both sides. Ridly Greig managed to score for Ottawa on one of their powerplays; however, it was too little too late as Nashville responded with three goals of their own. Jake Sanderson stood out for Ottawa by contributing an assist and being named one of the game's stars despite his team's loss.

The game concluded with a scoreline favoring Nashville at 4-1. This result left fans pondering what went wrong for Ottawa Senators and how they could improve moving forward.

In terms of individual performances from previous games, players like Tim Stutzle showed promise but couldn't translate that into goals this time around against a solid Preds defense led by Saros who made crucial saves throughout.
