PREDATORS BEAT JETS 5-4 IN 2OT TO EVEN WESTERN SERIES AT 1-1
The Nashville Predators and Winnipeg Jets put on a fast-paced, thrilling playoff show that reminded everyone why they finished ahead of everybody else in the NHL’s regular season. Thanks to Kevin Fiala, the Presidents’ Trophy winners go to Winnipeg breathing a little easier. Fiala scored off a 2-on-1 5:37 into double overtime to give the Predators a 5-4 victory over the Jets late last night in Game 2, tying the Western Conference semifinal series. Nashville had the NHL’s best road record during the regular season, but the Predators got the split they needed before Game 3 tomorrow night (Tuesday, May 1, 2018) in Winnipeg, where the Jets posted the league’s best home record.
