Detroit, MI – The Nashville Predators lost to the Detroit Red Wings at Joe Louis Arena tonight, 4-0, as the Red Wings extracted some sweet revenge from the loss they suffered earlier in the week in Nashville.

Nashville goalie Pekka Rinne made 23 saves on the night, but the Predators have allowed at least three goals for the third time in a week.
It was all Detroit, as Drew Miller started the scoring at 5:11 into the game on a wrist-shot past Rinne. It was the only goal scored in the period.
At 2:58 of the second, Detroit’s Tomas Tatar netted a wrister to make it 2-0.
Niklas Kronwall nailed a slap shot at 15:33 into the second to make it 3-0, and at 11:48 into the third, Daniel Cleary scored on a tip-in for the final score of the game.
