Terry point streak ends at 16 in Ducks loss to Predators

NASHVILLE -- Troy Terry had his point streak end at 16 games for the Anaheim Ducks in a 3-2 loss to the Nashville Predators at Bridgestone Arena on Monday.

Terry's streak was the second-longest in the NHL this season, behind Edmonton forward Connor McDavid (currently at 17 games).
"It's not like something I think about when I'm out there," Terry said. "I'm almost, I don't know, relieved. … It was obviously going to end at some point. The biggest thing for me now is prove that it wasn't just a streaky thing. I don't know if starting another is the right way to say it, but just keep playing and show it wasn't just a streak."
Ryan Johansen and Yakov Trenin each had a goal and an assist, and Juuse Saros made 29 saves for Nashville (10-7-1), which had lost two in a row.
"I really like [Johansen's] skating," Predators coach John Hynes said. "He's skating really, really well. He's had great energy.
"His skating is definitely a factor. He's a willing skater. I think his stamina and ability to play at a high pace is what we want."
John Gibson made 32 saves for Anaheim (10-6-3), which has lost two straight following an eight-game winning streak.
Johansen gave the Predators a 1-0 lead at 12:34 of the first period, taking a return pass from Trenin on a 3-on-2 rush and shooting blocker side on Gibson from the right circle.
"I just feel consistent right now," Johansen said. "I feel good. I feel fast, feel like I'm skating really well. For me, it's always been moving the feet and legs pounding kind of thing. That usually leads to some space."

Rickard Rakell, who missed the previous 10 games because of an upper-body injury, tied it 1-1 at 5:47 of the second period following a turnover by Luke Kunin behind the Predators' net.
Mikael Granlund scored a power-play goal to give Nashville a 2-1 lead at 15:20 of the second period. Johansen won a face-off back to Granlund, who beat Gibson again blocker side from the high slot.
Jamie Drysdale tied it 2-2 at 3:47 of the third period. His shot from along the right wall redirected in off Nashville defensemen Roman Josi and Dante Fabbro.
"We are a mentally tough group," Hynes said. "When they saw what happened on that goal, they said, 'We have to get back to work.' I liked the way our bench and the players on the ice reacted, especially the first shift after the goal."

Trenin made it 3-2 at 12:10, stealing the puck from Ryan Getzlaf in the neutral zone before holding off Kevin Shattenkirk and scoring from the left circle.
Terry then had a chance to tie it on the power play with 3:00 remaining, but his shot hit the post.
"It felt like it was a little challenging for us to get our energy going tonight and get our game going," Terry said. "That's on us to make sure we have it … myself included. I've got to be a guy that can kind of bring the energy on this team."
