Soon after Travis Konecny was whistled for a double minor for high sticking, Johansen tied the game at 3 when he scored on the power play at 16:05.

The Predators went ahead 4-3 at 1:11 of the third when Forsberg shot the puck between his legs and past Hart.

Philadelphia appeared to tie the game at 4 when Derick Brassard capitalized on a bouncing puck and scored at 13:28. But the Predators challenged the ruling and were successful for an illegal high stick on Cam Atkinson.

The Flyers eventually equalized at 4 when Hayes connected at 15:45.

Nashville had several strong chances in the final minute with an empty net but wasn't able to score.
