Forsberg scores three, but Preds unable to defeat Edmonton

Filip Forsberg notched his sixth career hat trick Saturday after against the Edmonton Oilers. Unfortunately for Nashville, those were the only three goals scored for the team as they fell 5-3 to Edmonton. This was their first loss to the Oilers since the 2013-14 season.

Each team took six penalties with Nashville converting on two power plays and Edmonton on one. Leon Draisaitl and Drake Caggiula each scored twice for Edmonton.
