The Nashville Predators prospects put on quite a show before a Smashville crowd of around 3,000 on Friday night at Bridgestone Arena in the Future Stars Game to conclude the week's development camp.
Team Gold took a commanding lead early in the game to carry them to a 7-4 victory over Team White. The teams played two 25-minute periods, and a five-minute 3-on-3 session, with a pair of shootouts following the first and third periods.
The Gold team, coached by Predators forward Austin Watson, featured 2017 Draft selections Eeli Tolvanen (first round, 30th overall) and David Farrance (third round, 92nd overall), along with Development Camp veterans, 2014 second-round pick Jack Dougherty and 2016 first-round pick Dante Fabbro.
