Forsberg breaks Predators record previously held by Erat

Filip Forsberg's recent clutch performance has bumped a familiar face out of the Nashville Predators record book.

More impressively, three of Forsberg's game-winning goals in January came in one-goal decisions, with the latest recorded as the third goal in a game where the fourth was scored into an empty net.

Forsberg was acquired by the Predators from the Washington Capitals in exchange for Martin Erat and Michael Latta prior to the 2013 NHL trade deadline.

Erat was at one time a consistent scorer for the Predators, but fizzled out soon after the trade.

Forsberg, meanwhile, is coming around after a slow start to the season. He's recorded five of his 14 goals over the past six games, including the record-breaking game-winner against Minnesota on Jan. 22.
