The Nashville Predators were written off just a few weeks ago, and now they are sitting in the final wild card spot in the Western Conference. They increased their lead to three points with a 3-2 overtime win over the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday.
The Blackhawks played well and deserved a better outcome, but the Predators took advantage of their chances, tying the game in the third before winning it in overtime. Their veteran leaders, like Filip Forsberg and Steven Stamkos, would not be denied as this team inches closer to an improbable playoff berth.
After today’s loss, the Blackhawks are 7-13 in games that have gone beyond regulation.
