Colorado Avalanche forward J.T. Compher went head to head with the Nashville Predators' Filip Forsberg on EA Sports' NHL 20 for the NHL Player Gaming Challenge but fell in each contest of the three-game set on Saturday.
Although the Avs are 2-0-0 against the Preds so far in the 2019-20 regular-season, Nashville swept the virtual games, winning 5-2 in the first contest, 5-3 in the second and 6-4 in the third and final matchup. All three outings were played at virtual Bridgestone Arena.
In the first game, Forsberg and the Predators got on the scoreboard first when Mikael Granlund tallied after what Compher deemed as a "bad turnover." The Avalanche tied the game when digital Joonas Donskoi scored from the slot in the second period, right after Forsberg referenced Colorado's 9-4 victory over the Preds on Nov. 7, a game in which Donskoi scored his first NHL hat trick.
