Another injury and a punchless offensive effort makes it difficult to get too enthused about Arvid Soderblom's solid performance tonight. Postgame story from Nashville: https://t.co/tFjP1pqbnh

FINAL: #Preds 3, Blackhawks 0 Juuse Saros picks up his 2nd shutout of the season stopping 21 shots. Nashville came up huge on the powerplay sinking 2 of their 4 chances. Calgary comes into town on Thursday.
FINAL: Predators 3, Blackhawks 0 Soderblom saves 33 of 35, but the offense gets nothing on Saros as the Hawks lose their 12th straight road game.
O'Reilly, 2-0 #Preds on the PP on a dish from Filip Forsberg. 4:37 remaining.
Forsberg draws a hooking call with 5:07 to play. #Preds still up 1-0 over Chicago.
O'Reilly called for hooking with 8:17 to play. #Preds lead 1-0.
2nd intermission: Predators 1, Blackhawks 0 Actually a decent period for the Hawks, and they'll start the 3rd on a PP, but it's hard to be positive about much right now. Shot attempts: 27-57 NSH Shots on goal: 13-26 NSH Scoring chances: 13-20 NSH (9-7 CHI in the 2nd)
END 2: #Preds 1, Blackhawks 0 Nyquist's goal still stands from the 1st period. Solid looks from Smith and Evangelista during that period. Andrew Brunette may have another forward line he could stick to.
Juuse Saros stops a solid chance from Reichel to Beauviller early in the 2nd. #Preds
With Nyquist's 9th goal in the 1st period, he is now the oldest #Preds player (34) in franchise history to have multiple point streaks at least 6 games long. Previously it was Jason Arnott (33) back in the 07-08 season. #NHLStats
1st intermission: Predators 1, Blackhawks 0 It wasn't exactly textbook, but Soderblom got it together and saved 15/16. The stats are quite imbalanced: Shot attempts: 9-34 NSH Shots on goal: 5-16 NSH Scoring chances: 4-14 NSH
Gus Nyquist now has 28 total points in 38 games with the #Preds this year. He has passed his point total from 2022-23 (27 pts in 51 games between Columbus and Minnesota) https://t.co/SpUNPPRgIr
END 1: #Preds 1, Blackhawks 0 Nyquist scored his 9th goal of the season to get this one started. He needs 1 more goal to have his 10th career double-digit goal-scoring season. Encouraged by how Trenin-McCarron-Tomasino are playing.
Gustav Nyquist with #Preds in 23-24 -6 game point streak (12/21 – *Active*) -9 game point streak (11/9 – 11/28) 2nd best overall streak in his career Overall = 38 GP & 28 PTS
That's Nyquist's 3rd goal & 11th point on the PP for the #Preds this year
Nashville scores on the power play after this very questionable holding penalty on Brett Seney. #Blackhawks https://t.co/bzTZmNF6w9
Gus Nyquist beats Soderblom glove side on the PP and it's 1-0 #Preds
Nyquist with the PP snipe, 1-0 #Preds The 34-year-old has been on fire this season playing with Forsberg & O'Reilly.
GOAL, Predators. Hawks trail 1-0. Nyquist lobs a PPG over Soderblom. https://t.co/pG9Zp8J7Of
Seney called for holding onto Carrier's stick. #Preds to the PP 1st tonight.
Chicago coming early with the offense. Cole Guttman drove in for a nice chance on Saros. Had to tuck his elbow in to keep that one. #Preds
