Ryan O'Reilly's impressive performance propelled the Nashville Predators to a decisive 4-1 victory over the Calgary Flames on Saturday. This marked O'Reilly's fifth career hat trick, showcasing his scoring prowess. Rookie Fedor Svechkov contributed to the win with both a goal and an assist, celebrating his first multi-point game in the NHL. Filip Forsberg also played a key role, providing two assists. The Predators' victory came on the heels of a successful outing against the Vancouver Canucks, marking their second consecutive road win.

Calgary's Mikael Backlund managed to score the Flames' only goal, but the team is now facing consecutive losses for the first time since November. Justus Annunen was solid in goal for Nashville, making 31 saves to improve his record, while Dustin Wolf, despite his efforts, saw his record slip with the loss. The Flames struggled with their power play, conceding goals while also failing to capitalize on their opportunities.
