Preds feed off crowd’s energy and demolish Penguins in Game Three

The Pittsburgh Penguins scored early, and that was the only time the puck found the back of the net for them. After entering the second period down 1-0, the Nashville Predators scored five unanswered goals, winning Game Three by a score of 5-1.

Depth scoring played a tremendous role again as the game winner went to Frédérick Gaudreau. Roman Josi, James Neal, Craig Smith and Mattias Ekholm also found the back of the net for Nashville. Ekholm’s goal also made him the 19th Nashville Predators to record a goal in the playoffs this season.

Above, hear from Ryan Ellis, Colton Sissons, Frédérick Gaudreau and Austin Watson.
