The Calgary Flames have Johnny Gaudreau to thank for salvaging a 3-2 overtime win over the Nashville Predators on Wednesday.
Gaudreau set up Mikael Backlund with a great pass on the OT winner, capping off an impressive three-point night.

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.
