NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Jason Arnott scored the tiebreaking goal 5:02 into the third period, lifting the Nashville Predators to a 4-3 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night.
Colin Wilson, Denis Grebeshkov and Shea Weber also scored for Nashville. Grebeshkov also had an assist while making his Predators debut against his former team, one day after being acquired from the Oilers in exchange for a second-round pick in this June’s NHL draft.
Mike Comrie, Gilbert Brule, and Marc Pouliot scored for Edmonton.
Neither team led by more than a goal, and Pouliot tied the score 3-3 at 2:54 of the third before Arnott put the Predators ahead for good.
