Josi returns to the ice in the 2nd period. Gets some crowd chants as he gets back in the game.

First period ends tied at 1. Predators Captain Roman Josi left the game in the period with blood on the side of his face. He did not return.

Mark Jankowski ties it up at 1 with redirect goal off a Jeremy Lauzon laser from the left side. The Preds and Canucks were playing 4-on-4 hockey after two interference calls sent Forsberg and Lindholm to their respective boxes.

The Canucks score first. Brock Boeser finds the net for the second time in the series. 1-0 Vancouver.

For the first time in Nashville Predators history, the team will face a 3rd different goalie in the same playoff series. The Vancouver Canucks will start Arturs Silovs between the pipes in Game 4 in Nashville, after an injury to Casey DeSmith. DeSmith replaced Thatcher Demko after Game 1, a Canucks victory.

Now the Preds will try to even up the series 2-2 in Bridgestone Arena. Something to watch for today: the Predators special teams. Nashville is 1-13 on the power play in this series. In Game 3, Vancouver got both of its goals off of the power play.
