Anders Lindback hadn't won since December 9th thanks to a lack of offensive support from the Nashville Predators, but the script was flipped in the third period thanks to Patric Hornqvist and Mike Fisher.
Now, the task falls to Barry Trotz to figure out how to integrate a world-class talent into the Predators' lineup with only 10 games left.
The Nashville Predators beat the Anaheim Ducks to pass the Detroit Red Wings for fourth place in the Western Conference.
Yes, there's still a game going on.
With the Red Wings dropping 3 straight games in California, BoC's best-and-worst tradition is back!
