Mikael Granlund recorded an assist in his Nashville debut and P.K. Subban scored on the power play, but the Winnipeg Jets completed the comeback to defeat the Predators by a 5-3 final on Friday night at Bell MTS Place. It's Nashville's second-straight loss overall and their second defeat to the Jets on the season.
The Predators had a 2-0 lead in the second period, but the Jets tied the game before the third, and then took the lead in a battle between the top two teams in the Central Division.
"They were better in the small areas," Preds defenseman P.K. Subban said. "We had our chances…but it just didn't feel that we really got enough going. We generated some opportunities, but we have to keep the game simple. Nothing's free and you have to earn everything. It's a tough game, and we're going to have to learn from this and get a whole lot better."
