Dallas, TX – Despite giving up a goal in the opening minutes of play, the Nashville Predators notched three consecutive goals and held on down the stretch for a 3-2 win over the Dallas Stars Sunday night at American Airlines Center. Nashville’s 34th win on the season was just its seventh all-time in the Stars’ home arena in 26 tries.

The Predators were short a forward Sunday, with Mike Fisher out of the lineup with an illness. The team went with 11 forwards and seven defensemen, and got off to a bit of a slow start. The same can’t be said for Dallas, though; Michael Ryder put the Stars on the board first, as he eluded Nashville’s defenders to turn a Mike Ribeiro pass into a 1-0 lead at 6:49 of the first. «Read the rest of this article»
