Predators Defeat Wild 6-2 in Nashville

The Nashville Predators secured their third consecutive victory, defeating the Minnesota Wild 6-2, with Filip Forsberg shining by scoring two goals and assisting on two others. Juuse Saros made 27 saves while the Predators capitalized on early opportunities, overcoming an initial goal by the Wild. This win marked a turnaround for Nashville, which has struggled earlier in the season but is now finding its rhythm, particularly against playoff contenders. Meanwhile, the Wild, who had previously won both encounters this season, faced their third consecutive loss, struggling to contain Forsberg and the Predators' offensive surge. Tensions were evident, as Wild captain Jared Spurgeon remained sidelined due to a previous injury from a hit by Predators forward Zach L'Heureux, amplifying the rivalry ahead of their matchup. The Predators will next host the San Jose Sharks, while the Wild will visit the Colorado Avalanche.
