We might be in for some boring hockey this year, folks.
After finding closure with an ex, in the form of Viktor Arvidsson, last time out, the Nashville Predators finished out the three-game homestand to open the season tonight. The team’s final test, the New York Rangers, were riding on a two-game winning streak that was last continued by an Artemi Panarin overtime goal that beat the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Juuse Saros got the start in net for Nashville once again, and Igor Shesterkin started for the Rangers, as the Predators fell to the Rangers, 3-1.
