Predators’ Carrier scores OT winner, sends Oilers to third-straight loss

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Alexandre Carrier scored at 2:12 of overtime to give the Nashville Predators a 4-3 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Monday night.

Matt Duchene, Mattias Ekholm and Jordan Gross also scored for Nashville, which snapped a six-game NHL losing streak. Juuse Saros made 31 saves to help the Predators end an eight-game skid against the Oilers.

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins had two power-play goals and Jesse Puljujarvi also scored for Edmonton, which has lost three straight. Connor McDavid had two assists and Jack Campbell made 30 saves.

In the extra period, Carrier took a long pass from Cody Glass and snapped a wrist shot past Campbell for the win.

Nashville went ahead three times in regulation, and Edmonton tied it each time.

Ekholm scored the game’s first goal at 4:35 of the opening period, when he converted the rebound of Tommy Novak’s shot.
