Sissons came out of the penalty box as the puck skidded through the neutral zone and brought it down the right side with plenty of room, scoring over Gibson's right shoulder at 16:19 of the first period.

Grimaldi scored 35 seconds into the second period off a deflection in front of the net, becoming the 11th different forward to find the net for Nashville this season.
