NHL Rink Wrap: Talbot gets shut out; Forsberg sets team record; Golden Knights issues
Even though he does not have a new contract extension yet, the Nashville Predators still held on to Filip Forsberg at the NHL Trade Deadline on Monday. He rewarded them with a hat trick in their 6-3 win over the Anaheim Ducks on Monday night, giving him 35 goals on the season. That goal total set a new single season franchise record for most goals in a season as he continues to have an incredible season. He has scored those 35 goals in just 50 games. That would be a 57.4 goal pace over 82 games. He is not the only Predators forward having a huge season. Matt Duchene also scored two goals on Monday night to give him 34 goals on the season. They are both closing in on 40 goals for the season, something no Predators player has ever done before. Combined with a Norris caliber season from Roman Josi on defense and another sensational performance from Jusse Saros in goal and they all have the Predators headed to the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the eighth year in a row.
Speaking of milestones, Troy Terry scored his 30th goal of the season for the Anaheim Ducks. Nobody expected that this season. It is a beautiful shot as well.
Brad Marchand scored two goals for the Boston Bruins, including this beautiful overtime game-winning goal against the Montreal Canadiens on Monday night.
Stopping Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar on a 2-on-1 rush in overtime seems impossible. The Edmonton Oilers could not stop them on this play.
