Filip Forsberg<\/a>, Fedor Svechkov<\/a> and Nick Blankenburg<\/a> scored for the Predators (6-12-4), who have lost eight of their past nine (1-6-2). Juuse Saros allowed five goals on 16 shots before being replaced early in the second period by Justus Annunen<\/a>, who stopped seven of 10 shots in relief.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a very urgent situation we\u2019re in,\u201d Forsberg said. \u201cI thought we played really good two nights ago against [the Colorado Avalanche], but then we show up like we did in the first. They could\u2019ve probably even scored a couple more even though it was 4-2.\u201d<\/p>\n

Greer gave the Panthers a 1-0 lead 11 seconds into the game on a one-timer off a pass from behind the net by Verhaeghe.<\/p>\n

\u201cA.J. has been a nice complement there because I think you\u2019ve seen Sam Bennett<\/a> and Carter Verhaeghe, they look faster,\u201d Maurice said. \u201cAnother guy with great speed on that line. They get through the neutral zone really, really quick. They\u2019re all strong, wiry men and hard on pucks. Happy that they got a reward.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rodrigues extended it to 2-0 at 5:42 of the first period on a rebound.<\/p>\n

Forsberg cut it to 2-1 at 6:52 on a redirection of a backhand pass from the corner by Luke Evangelista<\/a>, and Svechkov tied it 2-2 at 10:32 on a rebound.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just a horrible game,\u201d Nashville captain Roman Josi<\/a> said. \u201cRight from the first period, we just played poorly. I don\u2019t know, it\u2019s hard to explain. We have a good effort against Colorado and we come back with that. I wish I knew why, but it\u2019s not acceptable. We can\u2019t play like that and think we can win.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jesper Boqvist<\/a> put Florida back ahead 3-2 at 11:31 with a wrist shot on a partial breakaway off a pass from Forsling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Filip Forsberg, Fedor Svechkov and Nick Blankenburg scored for the Predators (6-12-4), who have lost eight of their…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":307319,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[556],"tags":[64,63,575,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-307318","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-nhl","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/307318","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=307318"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/307318\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/307319"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=307318"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=307318"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=307318"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
