02/25/2007 - Nashville, TN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Peter Forsberg's goal 2:11 into overtime led the Nashville Predators over the Detroit Red Wings, 4-3, at Gaylord Entertainment Center.
Forsberg posted a goal and an assist for the Predators, who won for the second time in three games. Paul Kariya had two goals and a helper, David Legwand scored, while both Kimmo Timmonen and Marek Zidlicky registered a pair of assists.
Tomas Vokoun turned in a heroic effort by stopping 41 shots to earn his 20th win of the season.
Tomas Holmstrom notched his third-career hat trick for the Red Wings, who have lost two in a row following a three-game win streak. Mathieu Schneider picked up three assists and Pavel Datsyuk had two assists in a losing cause.
Chris Osgood made 25 saves, but fell to 6-4-2 on the year.
On the game-winning score, Kariya made a spectacular spin move to break free of a checker, then dished ahead to Forsberg. The recently-acquired star moved into the slot and stuck his stick out to redirect the puck past Osgood high to the blocker side for his 12th goal of the season and his first in a Predator uniform.
"It was an unbelievable pass by Paul," Forsberg said. "I just put my stick there. It couldn't have been a better ending like that. It's great to score your first goal and to get your first point overall."
With the win, the Predators draw even with the Red Wings atop the Central Division standings, as Detroit picked up a point for the overtime loss. Each club has collected 86 points.
Kariya provided a 1-0 lead for Nashville with 1:54 to play in the opening period, taking a nice lead pass from Forsberg just inside the Detroit blue line and sneaking one of his trademark sizzling wristers through Osgood from the left circle.
The Wings were denied a tying goal with 28 seconds left, as officials ruled a penalty to Nashville defenseman Greg Zanon was whistled a fraction of a second before Johan Franzen's shot found the back of the net.
Only 38 seconds into the middle period, Holmstrom emerged from a goalmouth scramble to lift the puck over several bodies including Vokoun to tie the game, 1-1.
After the tying goal, the Wings had a five-on-three advantage for 1:40 and Holmstrom cashed in at 2:27 by deflecting Schneider's blast from just below the left circle that dipped low to the far side past Vokoun's outstretched pad.
Legwand added his 22nd of the year at 11:04 to bring Nashville even at two, when he took Zidlicky's pass and hit the net from the edge of the crease.
Holmstrom then finished his trifecta with 5:08 to play in the third, as he took Henrik Zetterberg's errant shot that rebounded off the back boards, turned, and stuffed the puck past Vokoun.
However, the Predators showed grace under pressure when Dan Hamhuis teed up a blast from the left point which Kariya tipped home with 64 seconds left in regulation time to forge a 3-3 tie and send the game into overtime.
"We beat them twice in our building, and they beat us twice in here, but this has been the best game so far," according to Red Wings head coach Mike Babcock. "In the other games, it's been like only one team was playing."
