Nashville Predators shut out Los Angeles Kings 3-0 in Los Angeles

The Nashville Predators defeated the Los Angeles Kings 3-0 on Tuesday night, marking the Kings' first shutout loss of the season, CBS News Los Angeles reported. Filip Forsberg scored two goals for Nashville, while Juuse Saros made 30 saves to earn his 28th career shutout and first of the season.

The Predators opened scoring early in the first period after Nils Hoglander capitalized on a turnover and assisted Forsberg's sixth goal. Forsberg added a second goal in the second period, assisted again by Hoglander. An empty-net goal by Adam Wilsby sealed the victory during the final moments.

The Kings, who have now lost back-to-back games and hold a 2-3-0 record on their seven-game homestand, saw goaltender Anton Forsberg stop 27 shots. Mats Zuccarello returned to the Kings' lineup after missing six games due to injury.

Notably, former Kings general manager and defenseman Rob Blake attended the game. Blake was named the Predators' executive vice president of hockey operations in June.

The Predators are on the opener of a five-game West Coast road trip.
