Filip Forsberg is next level right now.
The Nashville Predators' best player scored again Tuesday night - twice - making it an absurd 10 goals in five games, and capped his team's impressive comeback against the Buffalo Sabres with an overtime winner.
While Forsberg is humbly declining that he's the best player in the NHL right now... Watson yells from the corner: "Yeah you are!" #Preds

The Sabres blew two two-goal leads Tuesday, including a 4-2 advantage with under 10 minutes to go in the third period. The Preds won 5-4.
Forsberg scored the tying goal, obviously, before tallying the winner. He's up to 26 goals on the season, and added an assist for good measure. There's more: All three of his points Tuesday night came in the third period and overtime. The Swede has a remarkable 13 points since last Tuesday, in five games.
