‘Nashville regained the lead later in the period on Kevin Fiala’s 5th, a shot that deflected off Casey Nelson and caught the top corner of the net. After going back on top, the Predators clamped down defensively, holding Buffalo to only 22 shots total and 8 in the 3rd period. With Carter Hutton on the bench, Buffalo had a glorious chance in the game’s final minute, but Jeff Skinner was stopped point blank and Patrik Berglund couldn’t corral the rebound.’
