Game-By-Game predictions for Predators-Avalanche series

Predators vs Avalanche – GAME 1

Playoff fever is strong in Nashville. The flags are up around the city. The team is riding high and hungry for more playoff success. Poor Avalanche. They are coming into a hostile environment to face one of the best teams in hockey.

The game will be close, and intense, as two rivals duke it out. The Predators will score the first goal late in the first period and maintain a lead throughout the game. Pekka Rinne will be the first star of this game, as the Avalanche won’t score their first goal until late in the second. That is after the Predators have already scored two goals. The Avalanche will make a late attack, but the Predators will score on an empty netter to clinch a 1-0 series lead.

Final score: NSH 3 COL 1
