St.Paul, MN – The Nashville Predators saw their winning streak snapped against the Minnesota Wild Saturday night, as they lost in overtime, 2-1. A controversial penalty on Paul Gaustad put the Predators a man down during the bonus period.
Gaustad scored the only Predators goal at 10:11 into the first period with a wrist shot past Minnesota goalie Nicolas Backstrom. Minnesota evened the score at 12:59 into the second period with a tip-in past Predators goalie Chris Mason, who was playing in relief of Pekka Rinne. The teams went scoreless in the third period and headed to overtime.
Paul Gaustad was given a 2 minute penalty at 2:48 in overtime for a face-off infraction. This was a very controversial and costly penalty for the Predators as replays showed that the puck bounced off of the glove of Gaustad, and shouldn’t have been a penalty. The penalty put the Predators a man down and that was all that the Wild’s Devin Setoguchi needed to score the game winner.
Predators goalie Chris Mason was outstanding in goal, blocking 30-32 shots he faced on the night.
Nashville returns to the Bridgestone Arena on Sunday night to face the red hot Chicago Blackhawks.
The puck drops at 7:00pm.
