Watch: Fiddler pokes loose puck past Allen for game-winning goal

Vernon Fiddler, a 14-year NHL veteran, scored the game-winning goal for the Nashville Predators in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals.

The tally came with five minutes remaining in the game after the St. Louis Blues defenseman Jay Bouwmeester failed to clear the puck out of the zone.

Given that it's just Fiddler's fifth career playoff goal and his first career playoff game-winning goal, his celebration may have been in the vault for a while:

The two teams will square off in Game 2 on Friday night.
