Loser, despite scoring the lead goal, was Nashville and the team's Swedish national team forward Filip Forsberg. He is also selected for the Four Nations Tournament, which will soon begin in North America with Sweden, Finland, USA, and Canada.
Forsberg got an assist for the setup for Nashville's equalizer to 2–2 at the beginning of the third period, but then Ottawa pulled away, scoring the last and fifth goal into an empty net. The final score was 2–5, meaning a win for the visiting team from Canada.
Linus Ullmark, due to a troublesome back, has not played since December, but was now dressed in the booth as a reserve for Forsberg.
Anton Forsberg saved 25 of the 27 shots that Nashville's players fired at him.
