The Predators nearly stole the victory from the Flames, who held a 2-0 lead before Mike Fisher went off for two points in the third period, including the game-tying goal with the goalie pulled and just 1:18 left on the clock.

The Predators' late-game heroics pushed their franchise-record point streak to 14 games.

With the win, the Flames now have a two-point cushion on the Winnipeg Jets and Edmonton Oilers, who occupy last place in the Western Conference.
