The Nashville Predators finally got rewarded with a big Central Division win over the Colorado Avalanche, and Gustav Nyquist and Andrew Brunette talk about how important it has been for the young team to "trust the process".

There were several key performances in last night's Central Division match up against the Colorado Avalanche that helped Nashville win in record setting fashion. The Predators scored two goals sixteen seconds apart in the final minute of the game — the first time the franchise has scored a game tying and go ahead goal in the final minute of a game. The 4-3 win over the Colorado Avalanche can be credited partly to on ice performances by the entire team and partly to mental resiliency from a team that has struggled to close out close games. 

Filip Forsberg had another two goal game last night including the tying goal with less than a minute remaining in regulation. Forsberg has looked statistically strong all season, but he struggled to turn an impressive expected goals for stat into actual goals early. Now the floodgates appear to be opening for the Swedish forward who has scored seven goals in his last five games. Forsberg talked last week about trusting the process while he wasn't finding the back of the net. 

Yakov Trenin went through something similar. Trenin was generating offensive chances but wasn't getting the goals. After being a healthy scratch for a game, Trenin came back in the lineup and has two goals in his last two games. While the early stretch of hockey was frustrating, Trenin said he knew he needed to trust the process and believe the goals would come. 

Defensemen Jeremy Lauzon got his first goal of the season in the second period last night, but his play with defensive partner Alexandre Carrier throughout the entire game against some of the Avalanches top offensive weapons. Lauzon and Carrier had to stick with their physical style of play to wear down the Avalanche and their top line players. It was also a big night for Juuse Saros who played his 300th NHL game and needed a win after struggling in recent games. Saros finished the night with a .897 save percentage, but his performance in net helped the Predators earn two valuable points. Saros, too, has had to remember to trust the process when it comes to getting past five losses in his previous five starts. 

After last night's win the players talked about the lesson they are learning when it comes to sticking with the game plan and trusting the process. The win over the Avalanche may help the team develop more mental resiliency as the season continues.
