Nashville Predators lose to Calgary Flames 6-3

March 15, 2013 |

Calgary, Ontario – The Nashville Predators lost to the Calgary Flames tonight 6-3, after pulling Pekka Rinne from goal at about the 8 minute mark of the first period.

By that time, Calgary led Nashville 2-0. Chris Mason took over in goal for the rest of the game, but it didn’t make much difference as Calgary kept coming.

The scoring began with Calgary’s Mark Giordano slapping an even strength shot past Riinne at the 6:20 mark in the first period and the Flames led 1-0. Just 80 seconds later, Blake Comeau scored to make it 2-0 and Pekka Rinne’s night was over.

Scoring in the second period began at the 3:38 mark on a Jiri Hudler power play goal with an assist from Michael Cammalleri and Dennis Wideman. Calgary led 3-0.

Nashville finally broke through at 5:14 when Gabriel Bourque nailed a power play goal with an assist from Captain Shea Weber and Roman Josi.

In the third period, Curtis Glencross scored just 1:14 into the final period to make it 4-1 in favor of the Flames, but just two minutes later, Mike Fisher of the Predators scored and the game was 4-2 in favor of Calgary.

Glencross would score at 5:34 of the third, on his way to a hat trick, when David Legwand scored at 17:41 in the third, with an assist from Matt Hallischuk, and it was 5-3 Flames.

Nashville pulled their goalie with just over one minute to play when Calgary’s Curtis Glencross completed the hat trick on an empty netter, and made it 6-3 your final score.
