Kevin Lankinen replaced Juuse Saros in goal after the first period and made 17 saves. Saros finished with seven saves on 11 shots. 'We actually came out pretty good,' Nashville captain Roman Josi said. 'I thought the first 10 minutes started well, played fast. We talk about not giving them power plays, I took a penalty there, which I shouldn't take. They're just so dangerous on the power play. They scored and I felt like we got a little bit away from our game after that. 'Draisaitl gave the Oilers a 1 0 lead at 8:11 of the first period on the power play from the slot. 'Obviously not the start we wanted to the season, but I thought tonight was another good step,' Draisaitl said. 'Clean up a couple things for sure, but all in all, we played a solid game.

'Foegele scored at 15:27 of the second period for the 6 1 final. Defenseman Mattias Ekholm, who played 719 games during 12 seasons with the Predators, played here for the first time since he was traded Feb. 28. Ekholm finished with three shots on goal in 19:13 of ice time. 'It's always difficult getting traded or signing somewhere else, especially where you really enjoy the city,' Campbell said. 'I know it was a big day for [Ekholm], a lot of nerves I'm sure just from dealing with it with my past. So, seeing him come out and play the game that he always plays for us, which is just a steady, big time presence on the back end but also jumping up and making the offensive plays he makes, every single guy in the room was playing hard for him tonight.
