| Nashville Predators | 1 | 0 | 3 | 4 |
A pivotal moment in Nashville's 4-1 win over Florida came when Kenndal McArdle repeatedly asked for a fight with Nashville's Jordin Tootoo, and ended up getting more than he bargained for.
Dan Hamhuis led all scorers with his first goal of the season along with an assist as the Predators beat the Florida Panthers in front of 14,120 tonight in Nashville. Wearing their new 3rd jerseys, the Preds struggled through the first two periods tied 1-1 before finally pulling away in the third in a penalty-filled affair for both teams.
