EDMONTON, Alberta – Cody Franson scored the lone shootout goal and Pekka Rinne turned aside all three Edmonton shooters in the

Nashville Predators’ 3-2 victory over the Oilers on Sunday night.

Rinne got a huge break in overtime after losing his stick on a wild scramble on an Edmonton power play. Shawn Horcoff beat Rinne with a diving backhander, but the puck struck the unattended stick at the goal line and deflected out. A video review confirmed the puck didn’t fully cross the line.

The Predators, fourth in the Western Conference with 60 points, have won three straight — all on the road — and 10 of their last 12. The Oilers, last in the conference, have dropped five in a row and 14 of 16.

Joel Ward gave Nashville a 2-1 lead on a power-play with 5:55 left, but Oilers rookie star Taylor Hall tied it with 3:47 remaining in regulation.

Predators defenseman Alexander Sulzer opened the scoring midway through the first period, and Andrew Cogliano tied it early in the third.

Franson assisted on both Nashville goals.
