Nashville Predators get needed win against Calgary Flames
Nashville, TN – The Nashville Predators returned to “Smashville” for a much needed victory tonight as the Predators defeated the Calgary Flames 5-3 at the Bridgestone Arena.
Mike Fisher scored two goals and Martin Erat, Nick Spaling and Brandon Yip had the other goals for the Predators. Pekka Rinne had 19 saves on the night.

Martin Erat came back for Nashville with a power-play goal at 11:36 when he redirected Josi’s slap shot from the blue line by Kiprusoff, who finished the night with 18 stops.
“I was happy for Marty. He’s such a big part of the Predators. This is his home. This is where he’s been a big, integral part. He had more joy in his game today. We talked about just going forward and not looking back,” stated Nashville Predators coach Barry Trotz. “I thought his line was really good today. His line was the catalyst for us today. They went head-to-head against their big line. Mike Fisher got a couple [goals] and Marty was really instrumental with three points. I was happy to see him break out a little bit and have a smile on his face.”
Galgary scored another short handed goal when Giordano made a pass from the left face-off to Comeau who was coming down the right side, and tipped the puck by Rinne for his fourth of the season.
The Predators have allowed three short-handed goals in their last three games and four on the season.
“We’ll take any win. The second [short handed goal allowed] was a 40-foot line change that they made. That’s how they got that chance,” said Trotz. “I was more impressed with the way we didn’t go into a shell when we ran into a little bad luck. We had a good, positive spirit.”
Nashville returns to the Bridgestone Arena on Saturday night to face the Columbus Blue Jackets. Face-off is at 7:00pm.
