Matt Duchene Piles Up Three Assists In Preds Debut
5 years agoNashville Predators center Matt Duchene started life in Music City with a three-point effort, providing three helpers in Thursday's 5-2 win over Minnesota. Filip Forsberg and Ryan Ellis also had multi-point nights as both finished with a goal and an assist. The Preds had a massive third period, scoring four goals. Mikael Granlund, Austin Watson, and Viktor Arvidsson joined Ellis and Forsberg on the scoreboard. Pekka Rinne kicked off his season with a 22-save performance, giving up one even-strength goal and one power-play marker. Duchene had a disappointing finish to the regular season in 2018-19, but it looks like he hasn't needed much time to adjust to life in Nashville.
