Nashville scored on the first shift to take a 1-0 lead 33 seconds into the game. Ryan Ellis’ shot from the right point was tipped in front and former Blue Jackets forward Ryan Johansen was on the spot to wipe the rebound past Elvis Merzlikins to get the Preds on the board.
The Blue Jackets had a 2-on-1 with a chance to tie the score, but Juuse Saros made the stop on Pierre-Luc Dubois’ shot before Nashville made it 2-0 at 10:31. Dubois whiffed on a pass to Markus Nutivaara, and that set the Predators off on a 2-on-1, with Filip Forsberg feeding Mikael Granlund left to right to put the puck past Merzlikins.
Columbus was outshot 17-9 in that opening stanza, but whatever the first intermission chat was had to have been a doozy as the Blue Jackets put 20 shots on net in the second and tallied three goals.

sick title bro
highlights.
This title is really how I thought of this game. the word highlights in lower case letters
If the Jackets had Atkinson or Bjorkstandt available for the shootout the team more than likely would have won. The perfect example of injuries costing a game.
