NASHVILLE | The Canadian had the obligation to leave the Bridgestone Arena quickly to go immediately to the airport. With only 15 minutes for the interview period, only Nick Suzuki and Dominique Ducharme met the journalists. Suzuki described Jake Allen as the key player in this game.
“Jake made some big saves, especially in the third period. He stood up again for our team. As a group, I think we played a good game. But we have to stay away from the penalty box. The Predators are a winning team with their power play. But we defended well in numerical inferiority (0 in 5 for Nashville). Five on five, that was one of our best efforts lately. “

Author of the first goal of the season on the road, Suzuki was the man of all the missions of Dominique Ducharme among the attackers. He scored on the power play, he did a good job on the penalty kill and he spent the evening against the trio of Filip Forsberg, Mikaël Granlund and Matt Duchene. Before extra time, the three members of the first trio of Preds had no point.
“I didn’t know it was a peak this season for my playing time (24:04). I killed penalties and was happy with our five-on-five game. It’s a good feeling when you spend a lot of time on the ice. I wanted to take more shots today. It feels good to score. It gives me more confidence. “
