CALGARY, Alberta, March 8 (UPI) -- J.P. Dumont scored at 2:13 into overtime Saturday night to nail down the Nashville Predators' 2-1 win over Calgary.

Dumont fed Alex Radulov, but Radulov's shot caromed off the post. Dumont picked up the rebound and put the puck in the net to give the Predators their third win -- to go with two ties -- on their current six-game road trip.
