The Nashville Predators pushed their preseason record to 2-1 with a 2-0 triumph over Washington in the Baltimore Hockey Classic. Chris Mueller led with the way with a goal and an assist, Niclas Bergfors had two assists, and Colin Wilson scored in the third period. NHL.com has your basic recap for you. If you click the picture above this story, it'll take you to an entire gallery of photos from tonight's game.
Building off of pre-game concerns about the quality of the ice, it sounds like the players weren't too happy with the conditions. This, as tweeted by Tarik El-Bashir of the Washington Post:
Tyler Sloan on soupy ice at 1st Mariner: "It was bad. Along the boards, there was cement. Guys were ticked off ... it was dangerous."
