Nashville faced some adversity in that opening contest as they entered the third period down 2-1, but they rattled off four goals in the final frame to earn their first pair of important points to start the season.
"We were a little bit sleepy there, not bad, but just stopped attacking the way were in the first period in the second period, and we fell behind," Predators Head Coach Peter Laviolette said of Opening Night following Friday's practice. "It was nice to see we were able to come back from that. It's a good trait to have in a team, good to build confidence that way, so it was a good start. We ended up winning a big hockey game, division game."

Last Time Out:
Ryan Ellis, Mikael Granlund, Austin Watson, Viktor Arvidsson and Filip Forsberg all tallied on Thursday against the Wild; Duchene assisted on the goals from Ellis, Granlund and Forsberg. Winger Craig Smith recorded an assist on Arvidsson's goal for his 300th NHL point. Pekka Rinne earned his first win of the season by making 22 saves on the evening, and he also passed Miikka Kiprusoff for the second-most games played (624) by a Finnish-born goaltender in NHL history.
In total, 11 players recorded at least one point for the Preds on Opening Night. Duchene's three points were tops among his teammates, while Forsberg and Ellis each had a goal and an assist.
