Zac Rinaldo tallied the game-winner and Juuse Saros was perfect in relief as the Nashville Predators defeated the Calgary Flames by a 5-3 final on Friday night at the Scotiabank Saddledome. It's Nashville's fourth-consecutive victory, giving them a bit of revenge after being shut out by the Flames last week.
The two clubs went back and forth all night, but Calgary never had the lead, and the Preds kept finding ways to outlast their opponents throughout.
"That's just hockey," Rinaldo said. "That's the way it goes sometimes, and the teams that are going to come out on top of those games are the teams that stick with the game plan and are patient in their system."
