Pitlick stays in the play, scores OT winner

Nashville Predators forward Rem Pitlick is having a stellar training camp; doing everything he can to earn an opening night roster spot. In Nashville’s 5-4 overtime victory, Pitlick was forechecking hard, lost his balance, fell, popped back up to stay in the play, stole the puck, shot it and then watched it flutter in to win the game.

In his post game conversation, he talks about the goal, the opportunity to play with top talent, how he’s taking it all in and how his dad has helped prepare him to be a pro.
