Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
NASHVILLE, March 3 (UPI) -- Jason Arnott bounced the winning goal off the skate of an Edmonton defender in the third period Tuesday to give Nashville a 4-3 win over the Oilers.
Arnott flung the puck blindly at the goal mouth from the rear boards and got a lucky carom off Edmonton's Tom Gilbert to break a 3-3 tie with 14:58 left to play.
Shea Weber, Colin Wilson and Denis Grebeshkov, who was acquired from Edmonton in a trade Monday, also scored for the Predators. Pekka Rinne gave up three goals on 25 shots.
Jeff Deslauriers had 24 saves for the Oilers. Mike Comrie, Gilbert Brule and Marc Pouliot accounted for Edmonton's scoring.
Comrie put Edmonton ahead 1-0 on a rebound off a 3-on-1 break at 6:37 of the first period. Nashville struck back with goals by Wilson and Grebeshkov to take a 2-1 lead.
The two teams traded goals the rest of the way and were deadlocked 3-3 after Pouliot beat Deslauriers on a slapshot from the right circle with 17:06 left in regulation.
