NHL: Nashville 2, Vancouver 2 (OT)

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 17 (UPI) -- Adam Hall scored with 22 seconds left in the third period as the Nashville Predators rallied for a 2-2 tie with the Vancouver Canucks.

With goaltender Tomas Vokoun pulled for an extra attacker, the Predators pressed for the tying goal and came close when defenseman Kimmo Timonen rang a shot off the left goalpost with less than 30 seconds left.

Timonen had another shot turned aside by goaltender Dan Cloutier, but Hall gathered the rebound and scored from in front.

Hall's 11th goal helped the Predators pick up a point in the Western Conference playoff race. But Nashville is winless in a season-high six straight games (0-2-3-1).

Rookie Ryan Kesler and Trevor Linden scored first-period goals for Vancouver, which fell to 0-2-2 in its last four home games.

In overtime, the Predators pressed for the winner, but Cloutier stopped defenseman Marek Zidlicky's shot from the bottom of the right circle and denied Greg Johnson from down low.
