Nashville, TN – Coming into Tuesday night’s game at Bridgestone Arena, the Vancouver Canucks had gone 13 straight games without a regulation loss. The Nashville Predators snapped that streak with a confident 3-1 victory, winning the special teams battle against the league’s top power play and getting a huge game from Mike Fisher.

Early turnovers by the Predators at their own blueline made for a sluggish start for the home team, but by the time the clock hit the 5:00 mark Nashville started taking better care of the puck. With more precise exits from the defensive zone, the Predators were able to use their speed and generate 11 shots and several close calls in the opening 20 minutes. The Canucks had their share of chances too, and the fairly even period fittingly ended tied 0-0. «Read the rest of this article»

Clarksville, TN – Austin Peay Baseball begins a four-game road trip when it visits Memphis for a 4:00pm, Wednesday contest at FedEx Field. The Governors will look to bounce back following a disappointing 10-1 loss to Illinois State, Sunday, that was the only blemish on a 3-1 start to their season.

Memphis will seek a measure of revenge against the Ohio Valley Conference after dropping 2-of-3 to OVC member SIU Edwardsville, last weekend. Austin Peay will turn to junior right-hander Casey Delgado, just four days after his previous start.
