Nashville Predators’ First-Period Struggles: What Went Wrong Against the Winnipeg Jets?
Up until Saturday’s game against the Winnipeg Jets, the Nashville Predators didn’t have a lot of issues when it came to starting off games.
In four of their first five games of the season, if Nashville wasn’t scoring in the first period, it was scoring the first goal of the game. The 7-4 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs was the only game out of the first five where the Predators didn’t have a first-period goal or score the first of the match.
Facing off against the reigning Presidents’ Trophy winners, the Winnipeg Jets, following that trend would’ve been critical for the Predators to keep pace with Winnipeg. That did not happen.
