The remainder of the first went scoreless until with 1.17 remaining, Calgary came on strong to tie the game 1-1 after Elias Lindholm put one past Pekka Rinne.<\/p>\n

The second period was back and forth melee as Nashville\u2019s Craig Smith made it 2-1 early in the second period, Matthew Tkachuk tied it for Calgary at the 13 minute mark, and Nashville\u2019s Kevin Fiala made it 3-1 to end the period.<\/p>\n

The Calgary Flames<\/a> once again tied it 3-3 after Sam Bennett found himself in front of the crease, but the hopes of a win stopped there as the Predators responded Zac Rinaldo and Filip Fosberg both scored one each to end the third period 5-3 for Nashville.<\/p>\n

Nashvilles Kevin Fiala, Filip Fosberg, Kyle Turris and Ryan Ellis each earned assists, as did Calgary\u2019s Mark Giordano, Elias Lindholm, Johnny Gaudreau, Derek Ryan and Michael Stone.<\/p>\n
