[Cole Bagley]

Predators score 2 minutes in during the PP.

Forsberg snipes Ingram up high.

Predators lead 1-0 early.

 

[Cole Bagley]

Brutal start for Utah.

They've been trapped in their own end for most of the period and just committed another penalty.

Nashville back to the power play. Not a great start for Utah in this first period.

Referees are assessing a potential double minor as well...

 

[Cole Bagley]

Confirmed.

Cooley and Maatta will sit in the box.

5 on 3 for 2 minutes and then 5 on 4 for an additional 2 minutes after Cooley emerges from the box.

Nashville leads 1-0 with 11:12 remaining in the 1st.

 

[Cole Bagley]

Logan Cooley out of the box.

5 on 4 for 2 minutes as Maatta remains in the box.

 

[Cole Bagley]

Another goal for Nashville on the Power Play.

Too many dangerous veterans on this PP unit for the Predators and Utah is in a big hole against the worst team in the NHL.

2-0 Nashville with 8:02 remaining in the first period.

 

[Cole Bagley]

Probably one of the worst periods of hockey Utah has played this season.

They trail 2-0.

They were also outshot 13-4, outhit 12-5, and sat in the box for 8 minutes.

Have to regroup and respond in the second.

 

[Cole Bagley]

Some energy from Utah's top two lines with extended O-zone possession and a few shots on goal.

Trailing 2-0, that's exactly what Utah needs. Star players and leadership getting involved and making things happen.

 

[Cole Bagley]

Forsberg with another. Goodness gracious...just beat 3 Utah defenders and goes high again...

Nashville leads 3-0.

 

[Cole Bagley]

End of the 2nd period.

Utah 0
Nashville 3

Utah will remain on the PP for 43 seconds when they return for the 3rd period.

Penalties, a poor defensive breakdown, and an inability to score are plaguing Utah tonight.

 

[Cole Bagley]

Nashville throws one into the empty net and Utah trails 4-0.

 

[Cole Bagley]

Utah loses 4-0 to the Nashville Predators.

Over the last nine games, Utah has been shutout 3 times, outscored 31-19, and posted a 2-5-2 record.

Four game road trip ends 1-2-1 and it doesn't get any easier heading home.

Utah needs to find some consistency.
