Jonathan Marchessault scored at 9:11 of the third period to give the Nashville Predators a 2-1 victory over the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday night.

The Nashville Predators signed Juuse Saros to an eight-year contract extension in NHL Free Agency. This move was a massive decision that had a legitimate trickle-down effect, as well. Nashville also had top goalie prospect Yaroslav Askarov at the time. The Saros signing led to Askarov requesting trade from the Predators, which he was granted.
