PREDATORS WIN AGAINST THE BLUES IN SECOND ROUND OF STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS
P.K. Subban had a goal and two assists and Vernon Fiddler scored with 5:05 left, sending the Nashville Predators to a 4-3 victory over the St. Louis Blues in Game 1 of their second-round playoff series on Wednesday night. The Predators lost Kevin Fiala to an ugly leg injury in the second period and blew a 3-1 lead before Fiddler poked a loose puck by Jake Allen in the third. It was the fifth career playoff goal for the 36-year-old Fiddler, who did not play in Nashville’s first-round sweep of Chicago. Colin Wilson and Filip Forsberg also scored for Nashville, and Pekka Rinne made 27 saves. Game two is tomorrow night (Friday).
