You can't write a script more dramatic than how the Nashville Predators and Minnesota Wild game ended last night in overtime.
The Predators came in digging deep into the reserve tank on a back-to-back and dealing with key injuries to Roman Josi, Adam Wilsby and Cole Smith. The Wild should have been the more rested team, but the Predators came ready to grind this one out until the end.
After an early power play goal in the first period by the Wild on a strike from Kirill Kaprizov, the Predators entered the first intermission feeling pretty good about their overall game.
