In a tightly contested NHL game, the Nashville Predators defeated the Dallas Stars with a final score of 4-3.

Ryan O'Reilly scored his 16th goal of the season, extending the Predators' lead to 3-1. Wyatt Johnston's goal for the Stars cut the deficit to 3-2, but Nashville's power play, which included a beautiful combination from Ryan O’Reilly to Roman Josi to Filip Forsberg, was effective and led to a goal that made it 4-2. The Stars responded with a power play goal to make it 4-3, after Oettinger stopped a shorthanded breakaway. With about 6 minutes left in regulation, the Predators managed to hold their lead and win the game.
