Game review

Nashville beat Colorado 3-2 in overtime on November 5, with the game swinging after Nashville scored twice in the first period and Colorado pulled level in the second. Neither side scored in the third, so the extra period decided it.

Ross Colton scored for Nashville, while Ryan O’Reilly drove the offense with two assists and two points. Colorado got a goal from Jaden Schwartz and an assist from Logan O’Connor. The team stats explain the result: Nashville blocked 25 shots to Colorado’s 10 and converted one of five power plays, while the Avalanche went 0 for 3 with the man advantage. Colorado outshot Nashville and kept the game tight, but the Predators’ shot blocking and special-teams edge made the difference.

For bettors, Colorado closed at -1.5, so Nashville covered by 2.5. The closing total of 6.5 settled under by 1.5.
