Nashville, which came to the meeting with Anaheim with two straight losses in the bag, had rearranged the chains a bit and Forsberg played together with Colton Sissons and Juuso Parssinen, which seemed to suit the Swede nicely.

-They are strong with the puck and I try to be as well.

We are all built pretty much the same and we have pretty much the same mindset as well, said Filip Forsberg after the match.

Nashville coach John Hynes was not unexpectedly pleased with the team's performance.

-Tonight we were hungry to take rebounds, to find goals, to hide the goalkeeper and all that makes a big difference.

Either you're just there or you're there with a goal, he said after the match.
