Filip Forsberg Leads Comeback Effort, Nashville Comes Up Short
4 years agoNashville Predators forward Filip Forsberg pocketed a pair of goals in Game 1, but it was not enough as the Coyotes took the series opener 4-3. Nashville found itself in a three-goal deficit early in the contest before Forsberg put Nashville on the board with a power-play marker. He would add another power-play goal in the third period to bring the game within one goal. Forsberg was the focal point of Nashville's offensive attack, leading the game with seven shots on goal and the second-most ice time for Nashville (19:22 minutes). While Nashville's power-play offense was not a source of success often in the regular season (17.3% success), it seems they have figured out something against Arizona, and if Nashville's power-play success continues then Forsberg's value will rise with it.
