Forsberg, Neal lead Predators over Oilers 5-4
NASHVILLE — It took over seven minutes to confirm Viktor Arvidsson’s go-ahead goal for the Nashville Predators. Even after all the replays, Edmonton coach Todd McLellan isn’t convinced.
Filip Forsberg scored for the fourth straight game, Arvidsson got the game-winner and the Predators beat the Oilers 5-4 on Sunday night.
On the winner, James Neal had the puck in the low slot and slipped a blind backhand pass to Arvidsson on the left side. Arvidsson tapped in his 21st of the season 1:19 into the third on a power play.
Edmonton challenged the play, thinking Arvidsson was offside, but a lengthy review upheld the goal.
