Smith scores twice, Saros makes 24 saves for Nashville
Cole Smith scored twice in the first period, and the Nashville Predators beat the New York Rangers 4-1 on Thursday night. Ryan O'Reilly and Filip Forsberg also scored for Nashville, and Juuse Saros, starting for fifth time in five games this season, finished with 23 saves. “We were fast and we dictated the pace," Forsberg said.
