He finished with six shots on goal and was plus-2 in 28:04 of ice time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was nice,\u201d Foote said. \u201cWe all know what [Hughes] brings. He was all over the place early in that game creating, and our game plan worked down low in the offensive end. I thought we could\u2019ve had a couple more. Their goalie played good and kept them in it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/player\/filip-forsberg-8476887\" title=\"Filip Forsberg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Filip Forsberg<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/player\/michael-bunting-8478047\" title=\"Michael Bunting\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Michael Bunting<\/a> each had a goal and an assist for the Predators (5-6-3), who are 1-3-1 in their past five games.

It doesn\u2019t have to be the prettiest puck, but it has to be a puck that you\u2019re willing to battle for, willing to be hard on it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just thought our urgency going back for pucks in certain areas wasn\u2019t where it was supposed to be. Is it fatigue? I think partly. But I mean if you want to win in this League, we all have no choices.
