VIDEO: Predators' Forsberg catches Oilers sleeping on OT winner
Christopher Hanewinckel / USA Today
The Edmonton Oilers held the Nashville Predators without a goal in regulation Thursday, but they probably should have kept playing in overtime.
Predators rookie Filip Forsberg scored 3:55 into the extra period on a play where most of Edmonton's players were standing still. Forsberg spun around a lackluster defensive effort from Taylor Hall and snapped a shot past Viktor Fasth while Jeff Petry and the rest of the Oilers looked on.
Nashville goaltender Pekka Rinne made 37 saves for his 34th career shutout, extending Edmonton's winless streak to six games.
