VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Roman Josi and Alexandre Carrier scored and the Nashville Predators kept their season alive with a 2-1 victory over the Vancouver Canucks in Game 5 of their first-round playoff series on Tuesday night.
Filip Forsberg assisted on both goals and Juuse Saros made 19 saves as the Predators narrowed their deficit in the best-of-seven matchup to 3-2.
Nikita Zadorov scored for the Canucks and rookie goalie Arturs Silovs stopped 20 shots.
The series returns to Nashville for Game 6 on Friday night.
Vancouver poured on the pressure early, creating a flurry of chances in the game’s opening minutes.
Ryan McDonagh tried to beat the 23-year-old Silovs with a drag move midway through the first period, but the goalie reached up and snatched the puck out of the air.
Vancouver’s best chance of the first came in the final seconds when J.T. Miller bolted out of the penalty box, collected the puck for a breakaway, and sent a wrist shot just wide of the net.
