Following a listless performance against the Lightning, the Orange and Black looked to get back on track tonight against the Predators. Despite his rough outing last time out, Peter Lavoliette stuck with Sergei Bobrovsky in net and he delivered saving 26 of the 28 shots he faced. Meanwhile, Ville Leino led the way offensively with 2 goals including the game winner. Jeff Carter was pretty strong too with a goal and 2 assists, and Claude Giroux had 2 assists as well.
Halfway through the 1st period Kimmo Timonen and Giroux teamed up to assist Carter for a 1-0 lead. Nashville tied it up at 1 just about a minute later but that would be the last score of the game until the 3rd period. Early in the 3rd period Carter and Mike Richards setup Leino on the power play for a 2-1 lead. Again Nashville tied it up just a few minutes later. Finally with a little over 3 minutes to play Giroux and Carter setup Leino for a spinarama that finally put the Flyers up to stay 3-2. This time in the final minutes Nashville could not come up with the equalizer and Flyers hung on to win 3-2.
