NHL: Ebbett's OT goal gives Wild 5-4 win vs. Predators

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Andrew Ebbett's rebound shot in overtime lifted the Minnesota Wild to a 5-4 victory over the Nashville Predators on Wednesday night.

Guillaume Latendresse, who scored for Minnesota during a five-goal first period, was stopped twice by Nashville goalie Pekka Rinne before Ebbett grabbed the puck and punched in the next try with a backhand from the slot. Both Ebbett and Latendresse joined the team in the past two weeks.

Jason Arnott scored twice, including the go-ahead goal early in the third period, helping Nashville's top line get back on track. Steve Sullivan, who had three assists, tied the game at 3 with his goal midway through the second period.

Sullivan, Arnott and J.P. Dumont totaled nine points after a flat performance in a 5-0 loss to Calgary on Monday. They combined for four shots on goal and a minus-5 rating.
