"We had some chances, just didn't shoot the puck," Canucks coach Willie Desjardins said.
The game was tied 1-1 before the Predators scored twice in the third.

Edler's blast from the point on the power play midway through the first started the scoring before Forsberg's first marker early in the second tied it.
