Preds allow Canucks to tie it, but get the overtime victory

The Nashville Predators had a two-goal lead with just over five minutes left in regulation against the Vancouver Canucks Thursday night. Vancouver quickly tied the game to force overtime. Luckily for the Predators, Colton Sissons scored the game-winning goal in overtime for the 4-3 win.

Ryan Hartman, Nick Bonino, Calle Jarnkrok and Sissons were the goal scorers for Nashville. It was also Kyle Turris’ return from injured reserve after missing 8 games. He notched an assist on Jarnkrok’s tip-in goal. Yannick Weber had the secondary assist on that goal.
