Nils Aman dashed into Nashville territory and sent a back pass to Joshua in the slot. The bruising Canucks forward put a wrist shot through the legs of Predators D-man Ryan McDonagh for his ninth goal of the season.Saros stymied Vancouver’s Andrei Kuzmenko 16:40 into the period, stretching the width of the net to get an improbable stick on the Russian winger’s wrist shot from in tight.
