#5: Preds beat Hurricanes 6-5 in overtime on December 15th

This game featured the fast-paced and intense offensive hockey fans love. The scoring got started with a goal from Juuso Parssinen, but the Hurricanes predictably stormed right back to score two quick ones less than two minutes apart.
The Predators hung around with a goal from Roman Josi, but the Hurricanes opened up a 4-2 lead and then a 5-3 lead at the midway point of regulation. Put the Predators gave us a glimpse of what was to come later in the season with a relentless comeback.
Three unanswered goals by the Predators would tally a very impressive win over the Stanley Cup caliber Hurricanes. Filip Forsberg would notch the overtime winner, putting him at 16 goals through the first 30 games.
The Predators would win their following game over the Capitals to mark a stretch of winning seven of eight games.
