LW Forsberg leads attack, Predators win

The Arizona Coyotes were one of the biggest surprises in the first quarter of the season, and they look to continue the trend when they start a five-game road trip against the Nashville Predators on Tuesday. “(Tuesday) night he was real strong in his game and things dropped for us in the third period”.

Smith (10-6-1) was magnificent in goal for Arizona (13-10-1) with 36 saves, including three on Grade A chances in the game’s first three minutes. Forsberg picked up an assist on Calle Jarnkrok’s second period goal and added two of his own in the third frame. “As long as we win, it doesn’t really matter [if I score], but it’s always good to help the team get a win, especially here at home”. We turned it over in the first and second, too.

“We knew that we were playing better and sometimes the scoreboard, a lot of times, doesn’t show how we’ve been playing”, Ribeiro said.

Fisher’s right side slammed hard into the boards after a light push from Coyotes forward Martin Hanzal.

Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Kyle Chipchura had the goals for Arizona, which saw it three-game winning streak end. But the Coyotes simply couldn’t hold back Nashville’s relentless attack.

Forward Cody Bass, who was recalled Tuesday morning from Milwaukee, skated in his first regular season game for the Preds and led the team with five hits.

“Our forecheck did a great job”, Predators defenseman Roman Josi said. At that point, Arizona had been outshot 27-9.NOTES: Arizona RW Shane Doan and RW Steve Downie (upper-body injuries) missed their fourth and ninth consecutive games, respectively….
