Nashville, Tn — The Nashville Predators almost let this one get away, but in the end, Colton Sissons was able to score the game winner in overtime for the 4-3 Nashville win over the Vancouver Canucks.
It was a bit of sweet revenge for the Predators after the beatdown they suffered in Vancouver last week.
Nashville is still working their way through the injury bug with Viktor Arvidsson and P.K Subban still unavailable. The Predators did get Kyle Turris back in the lineup tonight for the win, and that meant Eeli Tolvanen was sent down to Milwaukee this morning.
