The Nashville Predators defeated the Arizona Coyotes last night by the score of 3-2 in overtime. Scott Hartnell scored his seventh goal of the season to give the Predators the lead late in the first period and Ryan Ellis helped force overtime with his first goal of the year at Bridgestone Arena. Craig Smith was a force in overtime hitting the bar for what would have been a win without a shootout. But Smith’s effort paid off as he was able to score the games final goal in the fourth round of the shootout giving the Predators a 3-2 win. With the win the Predators are now back on top of the Central Division. Their next game will be at Bridgestone Arena tomorrow against the Florida Panthers.
