Nashville Predators Forsberg, Arvidsson and Ellis celebrate after scoring last night against the Minnesota Wild<\/p><\/div>\n

The Nashville Predators have not been the same team they were in their run to winning the Stanley Cup two years ago. However, last night they managed to come away with a win after ending overtime tied with the Minnesota Wild.<\/p>\n

While they may not be the same team, the chance to get back into an equal form is still very real. Last night was encouraging as Ryan Johansen scored during the fourth round of the shootout. That led to the Nashville Predators<\/a> winning 3-2 over the Minnesota Wild<\/a> and bringing an end to their five game winning streak. Commenting on the win, Ryan Johansen said,<\/p>\n

“A step in the right direction. Some more adversity today on the road and just finding a way to win. We’re going to build off that.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The third period saw the Wild ahead 2-1 until Filip Forsberg tied the game 2-2 with just over 4 minutes remaining. It was the first win for Juuse Saros, who was minding the net for Pekka Rinne. Also scoring for Nashville was Nick Bonino and assists were handed to Rocco Grimaldi, Roman Josi, Wayne Simmonds and Kyle Tussis.<\/p>\n

Minnesota\u2019s Jason Zucker and Eric Fehr both scored in the second period separated only by three minutes. The Wild are in a tie for earning the first Western Conference wild card spot with Dallas, but that could change as Dallas has played one game less than Nashville. Zucker stated, post-game that.<\/p>\n

“We all expected to win that game no matter what the travel is, especially if we played our game. I thought we played pretty well.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
