Preds Fall to Flyers in Game 2 of NHL20 Stanley Cup Final

Matt Duchene scored the lone goal for the virtual Predators, as the Philadelphia Flyers took Game 2 of the NHL20 Stanley Cup Final. The series is now even at 1-1 following Nashville's victory to begin the series.

After the Flyers jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the opening period, Duchene tallied his seventh of the playoffs - a power-play goal - before the first intermission, with assists from Ryan Johansen and Filip Forsberg. That was the only time the Preds were able to beat Flyers goaltender Carter Hart, however, and Philadelphia tacked on a third goal in the final frame.

Pekka Rinne made 23 saves on the night as his playoff record moved to 13-8.

For the first time, each of the simulation games are airing on FOX Sports Tennessee and on the FOX Sports GO app. Each contest is called by the Predators television duo of Willy Daunic and Chris Mason, with coverage of the games expanded to include additional pregame, intermission and postgame content.
