NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Nashville Predators are young, deep and talented. They’re also the NHL’s first team to advance this postseason.

The Predators moved on to the Western Conference semifinals by topping Detroit with a 2-1 victory Friday night to win the series in five games.

David Legwand, a native of the Detroit area, scored the game-winning goal 13 seconds into the third period, and goalie Pekka Rinne made that stand up the final 19 minutes.

The Predators now get several days off. They could face third-seeded Phoenix in the second round. The Coyotes lead Chicago 3-1 in that series.

“It’s not time to celebrate,” Predators forward Alexander Radulov said. “I mean it’s only the first round.”

Detroit coach Mike Babcock said the Predators were deeper than his team.
