Jonathan Marchessault's go-ahead goal for the Nashville Predators vs the Colorado Avalanche wouldn't have happened without a bit of luck.

Juuse Saros made 31 saves as the Nashville Predators defeated the Colorado Avalanche by a 2-1 final on Saturday night at Bridgestone Arena. The result sees the Preds bookend the two-week break with a pair of victories as they finish the season series with a 2-1-1 record against the Avs.

Off, there was talk about how the break would be good for the Colorado Avalanche. Instead, they have a litany of questions aside from what to do at the trade deadline.

Colorado Avalanche superstar defenseman Cale Makar was an integral part of Team Canada's win at the 4 Nations Face-Off. And in his second game back from the best-on-best tournament, Makar reached another career plateau on offense -- but the Avs still lost the game to the St.

Jonathan Marchessault put Nashville in front midway through the third period. Luke Schenn’s shot from the right point went wide, but the carom off the back boards came right to Marchessault near the left post, and was able to tuck it into the net before Avs goalie Scott Wedgewood could recover.

The New Jersey Devils defeated the Nashville Predators 5-0 on Sunday evening in Nashville. The Devils generated a lot of offense and, most importantly, capitalized on their opportunities in a refreshing performance after losing to the Dallas Stars on Saturday.
