It’s safe to say the Nashville Predators would like a do-over in Game 1.
During Tuesday’s first game of the 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs between the Predators and the Colorado Avalanche, things weren’t going so well for Nashville early. The Avalanche scored two goals in the first three minutes of the game, eventually amassing a 5-0 lead by the end of the first period.
Yes, the Avalanche scored five goals on the Predators in the opening 20 minutes. Nashville goaltender David Rittich was chased 15 minutes into the game after allowing all five goals in one of the most disastrous starts to a NHL playoff game… ever.
