GAME RECAP

After a flurry of saves at both ends of the rink over the opening 34 minutes, Mattias Ekholm opened the scoring on Nashville's 26th shot of the night at 14:56 of the second period. Off a Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews chance in the offensive zone, the Predators went the other way on an odd-man rush, where Rocco Grimaldi found the trailer Ekholm with a centering feed that the defenseman snuck past the blocker of Crawford with a quick shot from the top of the circle.
Seconds after a pair of power-play chances by Patrick Kane and DeBrincat that Rinne robbed off the goal line, the duo combined on the man advantage to level the game at 9:05 of the third period. Keith sent a point-to-point pass to Kane, who fired a wrister that DeBrincat tipped home past the glove of Rinne to tie things up 1-1.

The Blackhawks made a late push for the game-winner in regulation, but the game went to overtime deadlocked 1-1.
In the final minute of the extra frame, Keith sprung DeBrincat on a breakaway, where the winger beat Rinne blocker side for the game-winner at 4:08.
