The Nashville Predators faced a challenging game against the Anaheim Ducks, where they struggled to make an impact on the scoreboard. After a lackluster power play, the Ducks' Ryan Strome capitalized on a pass from Alex Killorn to score a breakaway goal through the five-hole of Predators' goalie Saros, making it 1-0 for the Ducks. Despite the Predators' efforts to rally, the Ducks' Gudas scored, extending the Ducks' lead to 5-0. This marked his third goal in two games in Nashville this season. The Predators managed to score, making it 1-0, Nashville, but it was not specified when this occurred or the final outcome of the game. In a separate game against the New York Islanders, the Predators ended the first period with a 0-0 tie, having trailed in shots 10-7 but not in scoring chances.
END 1: #Preds 0, #Isles 0 Not the greatest start at home but the sense of urgency has been there. Nashville trails 10-7 in shots but has 9 scoring chances so far in all situations.
Preds finally get things going on the scoreboard, right about halfway through the game. 1-0, Nashville

Gudas, 5-0 Ducks. That's his 3rd goal in 2 games in Nashville this season. #Preds
#Preds with a very "meh" power play and then Ryan Strome gets a backhand sauce zone-clearing pass from Alex Killorn to spring him on the breakaway and beats Saros through the five-hole. 1-0 Ducks. Preds need to get going in this one.
