New Jersey Devils 5, Nashville Predators 4 (OT): Power Play Goals and Gaffes Result in Another Overtime Loss

The Predators couldn't hold on to any of the leads they had, and went unsuccessful in every penalty kill they had.

Power play goals were bursting out of every corner tonight, so it was only fitting the game was decided on one.

After Pekka Rinne took a very ill-advised delay of game penalty in overtime (by trying to cover the puck in between the faceoff circles), Adam Henrique scored his second goal of the game to send the New Jersey Devils home with two points.

The loss squandered a great performance by Craig Smith, Mike Ribeiro and Filip Forsberg, the latter of which gave the Nashville Predators a lead in the waning moments of the game.
