NASHVILLE — The Nashville (4-3-5) overcame a three-goal deficit to force overtime, but a costly penalty kept the Predators on the back skate in the extra period, and the home team ended up losing 4-3 in a shootout against the New York Islanders (6-4-2).

"Yeah, a slow start," Filip Forsberg said. "Obviously, they came out more ready to play than we did, but as the game went on we took over. It's obviously hard to come back from three-nothing, but very proud of the guys for doing that and an unbelievable job in the overtime to kill off the penalty. Unfortunately we couldn't get it done in the shootout, which is a problem that we need to work on, but the start wasn't good enough and after that the second half of the game was way better than them."

Nashville started the game on the power play when Matthew Kessel was called for high-sticking. The Predators unfortunately wasted the opportunity when Roman Josi was called for interference 30 seconds into the advantage.…
