A shootout was needed to decide Nashville's final game of the 2021 calendar year, but the Predators ultimately fell to the Columbus Blue Jackets by a 4-3 final on Thursday night at Nationwide Arena.
The result sees the Preds earn just one out of a possible four points in their back-to-back set in Washington and Columbus, and although the visitors weren't able to find the desired result on either night, they certainly weren't displeased with their overall efforts.
