In a thrilling matchup, the Nashville Predators halted the Winnipeg Jets' impressive 11-game winning streak with a hard-fought 2-1 victory. The Predators' Juuse Saros was solid in net, making 23 saves, while Filip Forsberg and Tommy Novak accounted for Nashville's goals. Forsberg opened the scoring early, capitalizing on a faceoff play. The Jets responded through Neal Pionk, but the Predators quickly regained the lead with Novak's power-play goal. Despite the Jets' efforts, including a two-man advantage late in the second, they failed to capitalize on their opportunities, including going 0 for 4 on the power play.

This win was crucial for the Predators, snapping their two-game losing streak and offering a much-needed boost as they look to turn their season around. The Jets, on the other hand, faced challenges after their recent success, playing back-to-back games and struggling to find their rhythm against the energized Predators.
