Filip Forsberg didn't look like the same elite forward for the Nashville Predators in Game 1. Then in Game 2, he reappeared just when they needed him.
Former University of Maine hockey All-American Gustav Nyquist will turn 35 on Sept. 1. Nyquist signed a two-year, $6.37 million free agent contract with the National Hockey League's Nashville Predators last summer and has had the best season of his 13-year NHL career heading into the Stanley Cup playoffs beginning this weekend. A two-time Hobey Baker Award finalist — given to the nation's best college player, Nyquist played in 81 of Nashville's 82 regular season games and has 75 points on 23 goals and 52 assists.
The Pittsburgh Penguins are playing like a playoff team. Sidney Crosby scored his 42nd goal and added an assist as the Penguins preserved their playoff hopes with a 4-2 win over the Nashville Predators on Monday night. Pittsburgh improved to 8-1-3 in its last 12 games to remain one point behind Washington and Detroit with one game remaining in the race for the Eastern Conference's second wild card.
