keep grinding and winning the games.¡±Nashville has won nine straight against
Colorado, including three this season.But Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said he
still liked a lot of what he saw from his players in their latest effort against
the Predators.¡±I liked the way we played,¡± Bednar said. ¡±I thought we got a
little better as the game went on. It was a pretty good all-around effort from
our group. Pretty tight contest. They catch a break at the end and tie it up and
end up getting the extra point.¡±Nashville¡¯s Ryan Ellis tied it with 1:06 left in
regulation with goalie Pekka Rinne off for an extra attacker.¡±It¡¯s 6 on 5 where
