Predators 7, Kings 6 (OT): Defenseman Roman Josi sniped a wrist shot from the slot past Martin Jones 18 seconds into overtime as Nashville overcame a miraculous comeback by host Los Angeles.

Josi, fellow blue-liner Ryan Ellis and Colin Wilson each recorded a goal and an assist while Mark Arcobello scored in his debut for the Predators, who have won their last four games against the Kings - including a 4-3 shootout victory in Music City on Nov. 25. Mike Fisher, Olli Jokinen and defenseman Mattias Ekholm also tallied and Pekka Rinne made 24 saves en route to his sixth win in seven starts.

Defenseman Alec Martinez registered a goal and two assists, Dwight King tallied twice and blue-liner Matt Greene, Marian Gaborik and Jeff Carter also scored for Los Angeles, which has lost in regulation just once in its last eight home games (4-1-3). Jonathan Quick allowed three goals on nine shots before being replaced by Jones, who finished with 12 saves.

Jokinen knocked home a juicy rebound in the slot 8:38 into the third to give Nashville a 6-3 lead, which held until the final 2:01 of the period. King chipped a rebound over Rinne for his second goal of the contest, Gaborik tallied 57 seconds later to make it a one-goal deficit and Carter sent the game to overtime with 34 seconds remaining.

Nashville netted three goals 4:49 apart in the first 10 minutes of the game after Greene opened the scoring for the Kings as Fisher banged in a loose puck on the doorstep at 4:54, Wilson’s centering feed deflected in off Greene at 6:16 and Ellis chased Quick with a one-timer from the point during a power play at 9:43. Ekholm continued the onslaught 2:16 into the second period and Arcobello scored with a short-side wrist shot 1:41 later for the Predators’ fifth consecutive tally, but Martinez and King pulled Los Angeles within two before the end of the session.
