Preds 4th line shutting down opposition while creating opportunities

A banged up Nashville Predators squad took down the Buffalo Sabres, another top team in the league, 2-1 Monday night. Kevin Fiala scored first and Ryan Ellis notched one on the power play for Nashville two goals.

It was a sound defensive game for the Predators as they shut down a very talented Sabres team who had seen points in 11 of 12 including a 10-game win streak. The 4th line of Nick Bonino with Frederick Gaudreau and Rocco Grimaldi not only shut down the opposition, but also created a couple high danger chances themselves.

In the Ingram Agency post game report, hear from Rocco Grimaldi along with Pekka Rinne.
