Brady Skjei and Filip Forsberg each scored two goals as the Nashville Predators defeated the Buffalo Sabres 6-4, snapping a six-game losing streak. Jonathan Marchessault contributed with a goal and two assists, while Ryan O'Reilly recorded four assists. Justus Annunen made 25 saves to secure the win. The Sabres ended their four-game winning streak despite notable performances from Alex Tuch and Rasmus Dahlin, who both scored and assisted in the game.

The Predators jumped to a quick 2-0 lead, but the Sabres leveled the score before Forsberg and Skjei's back-to-back goals restored Nashville's lead. Though Buffalo nearly tied the game late on a potential Zach Benson goal, a successful Predators challenge revealed an offside, preserving their lead and ultimately the win.
