New York. Finally, the Nashville Predators season seems to have gotten a little bit of order.
They picked up their third straight win last night – beating the New York Islanders 5-4 at home at Bridgestone Arena.
– There is still a lot to improve, but we found a way to win anyway, top scorer Philipp Forsberg tells Sportbladet.
Aside from the two wins over San Jose in Prague, the opening month of the regular season was very difficult for the Predators. They lost five in a row when they got back to North America and even then they kept floundering with just a win here and there.
But like I said: it now looks like it’s getting brighter in middle Tennessee. Last week they beat the New York Rangers and Minnesota 2-1 and for the first time this year they won their third game in a row against the New York Islanders last night.
Of course it feels nice. Everything becomes more fun and easier when you win a few matches, she says Philip Forsberg On the phone from Music City.
– What has changed? We didn’t play well, there is still a lot to improve, but at least we found ways to win. I think we played well in the first periods of these matches, but we retreated and relied on defense and goalkeepers a lot.
Philip scored the sixth goal of the season himself after just over a minute.
– I had several chances in the same attack and it was a good third time. It was great that this was such a good start to the match.
The 28-year-old Maas was also responsible for one assist and star back Roman Jose, who didn’t start scoring earlier this year, and was responsible for four.
