Fisher scores twice to lead Predators
Posted: December 13, 2016
The Nashville Predators scored six
unanswered goals for a 6-3 win against the St. Louis Blues at Bridgestone Arena
on Tuesday, giving goalie Pekka Rinne his 250th NHL
victory.
It was the first time this season the
Predators had come back and won when trailing after the second period (1-8-0)
and the first time they've come back from a trailing by three goals.
"That was the Predators," forward
Filip Forsberg said. "I mean, that's how we want to play. That's how we've
been playing for the last few years since I got here. I've seen this team do so
many good things like that, and obviously that's something that we'll build on

"That was just a great effort being
down like that and just finding a way to come back," Fisher said.
"[We] played really good in the second and third periods against a great
team, too, division rival. That was a big game."

stretch has been really good for me and for my teammates. Hopefully we can keep
