Captain Andrew Ladd was able to pounce on a rebound in front, which inadvertently came off Predators defenseman Jonathon Blum.

In the third, David Legwand would score at 7:28 into the third period on an exhausting power play to put the Predators up 2-1.

Then, Scheifele would score his fourth goal of the pre-season after walking out from the corner and wring a shot past Anders Lindback on the power play to tie the game 2-2.

After a great action packed overtime period which the Jets had two great chances to win the game, outshooting the Predators 37-22 during the game.
