FORSBERG CAPS OFF PREDATORS RALLY WITH PENALTY SHOT WINNER

Nashville scored three consecutive goals in the final 10:54 of regulation to overcome a 3-0 deficit and Filip Forsberg converted on a penalty shot in overtime as the Central Division-leading Predators (34-12-9, 77 points) extended their point streak to seven games (5-0-2). Nashville overcame a deficit of at least three goals in the third period to win for the fourth time in franchise history and first since Jan. 31, 2012 at MIN (5-4 W).

Forsberg became the 13th player in NHL history to score a penalty shot goal in overtime during the regular season and second to do so with the Predators, joining David Legwand on Dec. 23, 2000 at NYR (3-2 OT W). Only one other player has converted on a penalty shot in overtime this season: Toronto’s William Nylander on Jan. 24 at CHI (3-2 OT W).

Pekka Rinne (28 saves) improved to 10-0-1 in his last 11 appearances dating to Jan. 6 (1.95 GAA, .934 SV%, 2 SO). Rinne’s 11-game run is one shy of the franchise record for longest point streak by a goaltender, a mark he set from Jan. 7 – Feb. 7, 2012 (11-0-1).

JETS ALSO STAGE RALLY TO KEEP PACE WITH PREDATORS

Mark Scheifele (2-1—3) tied the game while shorthanded with 14.4 seconds remaining in regulation and assisted on the overtime winner by Tyler Myers as the Jets (33-15-9, 75 points) improved to 4-2-1 on their franchise-long 10-game homestand. Winnipeg is second in the Central Division standings, two points back of Nashville (34-12-9, 77 points).

The Jets improved to 21-5-2 (44 points) at Bell MTS Place in 2017-18, three home wins shy of matching their franchise record for most in a season.

HALL EXTENDS POINT STREAK IN DEVILS VICTORY

Former Windsor Spitfire Taylor Hall (2-0—2) tied the contest with 1:21 remaining in regulation and Drew Stafford scored the only goal of the shootout as the Devils (28-20-8, 64 points) snapped a four-game slide (0-4-0). New Jersey occupies the first Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference standings and moved within three points of Philadelphia (28-19-10, 66 points) for third place in the Metropolitan Division.

Hall extended his point streak to eight games (6-5—11) and has recorded at least one point in 15 consecutive appearances dating to Jan. 2 (11-12—23), but missed three contests in the middle of the run due to injury.

GOLDEN KNIGHTS POST 20TH HOME WIN

Down 2-1 through 40 minutes, the Western Conference-leading Golden Knights (37-15-4, 78 points) scored four unanswered goal to defeat the Blackhawks and improve to 20-4-2 (42 points) at T-Mobile Arena this season. Vegas became the third team in NHL history to post 20 home wins in its inaugural season, joining the Hartford Whalers in 1979-80 (22) and Los Angeles Kings in 1967-68 (20).
