The first Swedish goal attempt, however, came from the losing team's Filip Forsberg in the seventh minute of the match. Five minutes later, Jesper Boqvist ensured that his own team took the lead when he scored the 3–2 goal of the match with a wrist shot.
He was played forward by, among others, defenseman Gustav Forsling, who later got the puck into the net himself as the only scorer in the second period.
The win is Florida's third in four games. Things are bleaker for Nashville, which has lost eight of its last nine games.
"It's a very urgent situation we're in," Filip Forsberg said after the game, according tonhl.com .
