The debut of the top line was a smashing success. Jeff Carter and Rick Nash weren't on the ice for a single scoring chance against. Nash was on the ice for 11 even strength scoring chances and 3 more on the power play. Carter was on the ice for 10 even strength scoring chances and 3 more on the power play. Their line, along with the Grant Clitsome - Marc Methot pairing dominated the Predators.
At the same time, the third line of Derek MacKenzie, Derrick Brassard and Ryan Johansen took the worst of it, going -3, -4 and -5 in chances differential, respectively.
Bottom ES Forwards: Ryan Johansen -5

The top line beat every line and pairing the Preds had to offer, including the vaunted pairing of Ryan Suter and Shea Weber. Note the Brassard line - they were in the red against everyone that generated a chance while they were on the ice.
