Nashville Predators level playoff series with 4-1 victory over Canucks

Andrew Brunette liked the way his Nashville Predators put their bodies on the line Tuesday. Down a game in their first-round playoff series against the Vancouver Canucks, Nashville blocked 31 shots and “committed to the pain” in Game 2, the coach said. The commitment paid off - the Predators downed the Canucks 4-1 and levelled the series at 1-1. Vancouver registered seven blocked shots on the night.
