PREDATORS 3, BLACKHAWKS 2

CHICAGO (AP) — Brady Skjei scored a game-clinching power-play goal with 6:53 left in the third period, and Nashville rallied to beat Chicago.

Filip Forsberg split Chicago’s defense for a scoring goal with 6:19 left in the second period, then Gustav Nyquist got a shorthanded score 2:18 later for his 200th career goal that tied it at 2-2 . Juuse Saros stopped 27 shots.

Connor Bedard and Craig Smith scored to give Chicago a 2-0 lead, but the Blackhawks lost their third straight game. Alexandre Carrier had two assists and Petr Mrazek finished with 31 saves.

During overtime, Skjei connected on a projected shot from the left circle, lifting Nashville to its second straight victory after starting the season with five straight losses.

OILER 4, PENGUINS 0

EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) — Stuart Skinner made 27 saves for his fifth career shutout, Viktor Arvidsson had three assists and Edmonton beat Pittsburgh.

Evan Bouchard and Mattias Ekholm each had a goal and an assist. Leon Draisaitl and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins also scored for the Oilers, who had struggled offensively early in the season, scoring just 14 goals in their first seven games.

Arvidsson’s assists were his first points as an Oiler, while Vasily Podkolzin also had one for his first point since arriving in Edmonton.

The game was heavily billed as a superstar showdown between Edmonton’s Connor McDavid and Pens veteran Sidney Crosby, but both were kept off the scoresheet.

The Penguins have lost four games in a row.

Despite the loss, Joel Blomqvist made 46 saves for Pittsburgh.
