"Nashville smoked the Cats by a 5-0 count in the matinee. Eric Haula scored two goals and former Panther Jonathan Marchessault and defenseman Brady Skjei each collected two assists. Ryder Rolston, Reid Schaefer and David Edstrom also scored for the Predators. Veteran AHLer Brandon Bussi started the game for the Panthers and acquitted himself well, stopping 17 of 19 shots, before giving way to prospect Kirill Gerasimyuk. Gerasimyuk had a rough go of it, surrendering three goals on just seven shots faced."
"Florida put up a better fight in the nightcap. After Brett Chorske opened the scoring with an unassisted goal 7:44 after opening puck drop, the Predators reeled off four consecutive goals, with Cole Smith, Steven Stamkos, Filip Forsberg and Matthew Wood doing the honors. Mike Benning lit the lamp, with the assists going to Jack Studnicka and Noah Gregor to halve the deficit 21 seconds into the third."
