NHL-Highlights of Thursday's NHL games

Nov 27 (The Sports Xchange) - Highlights of Thursday's National hockey League game: - - Predators 1, Oilers 0 (OT) Outplayed most of the game, the Nashville Predators turned to goalkeeper Pekka Rinne and early Calder Trophy favorite Filip Forsberg to steal two points Thursday night. Rinne stopped 37 shots in the 34th shutout of his career and Forsberg scored the only goal at 3:55 of overtime as Nashville improved to 9-1-1 in Bridgestone Arena, blanking the Edmonton Oilers 1-0. Moments after hitting the crossbar, Forsberg got the puck back and ripped a 21-foot wrister past goalie Viktor Fasth (2-5-2), who turned away the first 24 shots he faced. It was the third straight win for the Predators (15-5-2), which moved into sole possession of first place in the Central Division. Edmonton (6-14-3) dropped its eighth game in a row, falling to 0-11-2 against the Western Conference this season. (Editing by Frank Pingue)
