For the 2nd consecutive game, Predators jump out to an early 2-0
lead in the first period.
Cliff Ronning scored 2 goals for the 3rd time this season.
Randy Robitaille scored in OT to give Predators the win.
LOWLIGHTS:
Predators blew their 2-goal lead & allowed the Thrashers to tie up the
game 3-3 on goals by Andrew Brunette & Dean Sylvester.
COMMENTS: This was an interesting game, given that the
Predators had two 2-goal leads in this game, only to have Thrashers
tie up the game 3-3 & force OT. Mike Dunham stopped 14 of Atlanta's 17
shots-on-goal to earn the win. Had it not been for a few defensive
lapses, the Predators should have been able to put this game away in
regulation. Nonetheless, a win is a win. By the way, this was the
first time that the Predators have ever played a regular season game
against the Thrashers. The Atlanta Thrashers are currently in their
inaugural season.
