Predators Top Kraken 3-1 as Forsberg Hits 30 and Annunen Shines in Surprise Start

Both teams now have 71 points, leaving tiebreakers to determine immediate positioning.

Overview

  • Filip Forsberg produced a goal and two assists, reaching 30 goals for the season with an empty-netter.
  • Justus Annunen stopped 25 shots after Juuse Saros was ruled day-to-day with an upper-body injury sustained at morning skate.
  • Rookie Ryan Ufko opened the scoring and Ryan O'Reilly netted the power-play winner before Forsberg sealed it late.
  • Nashville executed an emergency recall of AHL goalie Matt Murray, who arrived midgame to serve as Annunen's backup.
  • The result pulls Nashville level with Seattle at 71 points, with the Kraken holding the regulation-wins tiebreaker as their recent skid sits at 2-6 over eight games.
