Nick Bonino got things started for the Ducks at 2:24 in the first when he hit a wrist shot past Pekka Rinne. Kyle Palmieri followed that up with a goal at 3.49 making it 2-0 Ducks.

Palmieri was not finished. He got his second goal of the night at 15:57 in the first. He completed a hat trick scoring a tip in goal at 1:07 in the second during a power play.

The Predators finally got on the board when Rich Clune goes in on the attack and finds Kevin Klein to the right of the goal who quick shuffles it over to Craig Smith. Smith hits a slap shot past Viktor Fasth for the score.

Anaheim put it up 5-1 when Saku Koivu put in a tip in at 19:20 in the second.

The Ducks put 28 shots on goal. The Predators had 21 shots on goal.

The Predators play can be summed up by their last power play of the game. At 9:25 in the third, Anaheim’s Matt Beleskey gets called for goalkeeper interference. Sloppy passes and poor puck handling resulted in only one shot on goal, by the Ducks.

The Nashville Predators continue their road trip when they visit the San Jose Sharks Saturday, March 2nd at the HP Pavilion Arena. The Game starts at 9:30pm (CT).
