Star forward Filip Forsberg ensured that Nashville came back and turned tonight's match against Chicago into a win.

Nashville was behind 0-2 in the second period when Forsberg rushed forward, picked up a pass at speed between Chicago's defense pair, fooled the goalkeeper, and made it 1-2.

I had good speed, got a very fine pass from "Gus" and managed to get the puck through. Yeah, it turned out pretty nice, says Forsberg to Sportbladet after the 3-2 win.

A few minutes later, teammate Gustav Nyquist equalized to 2-2 in a numerical disadvantage, which became his 200th goal in his NHL career.

Nashville, which had a tough start to the season with five losses, has now won two straight matches.

Of course, it's nice that we've won a couple of matches after the tough start. Then, 0-5 at the beginning of the season looks worse than if you lose five straight in the middle of the season, you have to try to think that way.

Nashville ultimately won the match 3-2, after a goal by Brady Skjei in the third period.
