Predators Edge Blackhawks 3-2 in Chicago

The Nashville Predators overcame a two-goal deficit to defeat the Chicago Blackhawks 3-2 in a dramatic comeback on Friday night. Chicago initially led 2-0 with goals from Craig Smith and Connor Bedard, but a pivotal offside call nullified a potential third goal by Teuvo Teravainen. Nashville seized the momentum afterward, with Filip Forsberg and Gustav Nyquist scoring to tie the game before Brady Skjei netted the winning power-play goal in the third period. Juuse Saros made 27 saves for Nashville, while Petr Mrazek stopped 31 shots for Chicago, who suffered their third consecutive loss. The Predators finished 1-for-5 on the power play, whereas the Blackhawks went 0-for-5. Both teams are looking to improve, with Chicago addressing their special teams issues ahead of a challenging road trip.
