NASHVILLE Yanni Gourde Jersey , Tenn. (AP) The Nashville Predators and Winnipeg Jets put on a fast-paced, thrilling playoff show that reminded everyone why they finished ahead of everybody else in the NHL¡¯s regular season.Thanks to Kevin Fiala, the Presidents¡¯ Trophy winners go to Winnipeg breathing a little easier.Fiala scored off a 2-on-1 5:37 into double overtime to give the Predators a 5-4 victory over the Jets on Sunday night in Game 2, tying the Western Conference semifinal series.¡±Very happy that we won,¡± Fiala said. ¡±That¡¯s all that matters. It was a huge game for us to tie it up 1-1. It was very big for us.¡±Nashville had the NHL¡¯s best road record during the regular season, but the Predators got the split they needed before Game 3 on Tuesday night in Winnipeg where the Jets posted the league¡¯s best home record.¡±It¡¯s huge, a big difference being 2-0 or 1-1,¡± said Predators goalie Pekka Rinne, who had a career playoff-best 46 saves. ¡±Obviously, we¡¯ll take this. It was an emotional game, and now it¡¯s time to go on the road and we need to steal a couple of wins in their building.¡±Craig Smith and Fiala skated up on a 2-on-1, and Jets defenseman Dustin Byflugien failed to block Smith¡¯s cross-ice pass to Fiala who beat goalie Connor Hellebuyck with a backhander.Ryan Johansen scored twice Auston Matthews Jersey , Viktor Arvidsson had a goal and two assists, and P.K. Subban had a goal and an assist as Nashville won both its 100th postseason game as a franchise and coach Peter Laviolette¡¯s 50th with the team. Filip Forsberg also had three primary assists for the first time in the postseason in his career.Laviolette said at one point in the second period the game looked like a track meet both teams were skating so fast. He noted the Jets finished just three points behind Nashville.¡±They¡¯re a good team as well,¡± Laviolette said.Mark Scheifele scored twice and had an assist. Byflugien had a goal and an assist, and Brandon Tanev had a goal for Winnipeg, which lost its first multiple-overtime game for a franchise that just won its first playoff series in the first round.¡±It¡¯s a sucky way to lose, but we played a better game tonight than we did on Friday,¡± Scheifele said. ¡±That¡¯s a positive. We can be upset for 10 minutes and then after that, we¡¯ve got to get our rest and then get ready for Tuesday.¡±Tanev tied it at 3, putting the puck past Pekka Rinne¡¯s right skate at 5:11 of the third. Johansen answered 34 seconds later, skating around Jets defenseman Toby Enstrom and beating Hellebuyck top shelf.But Scheifele forced overtime with his fourth goal in this series and eighth this postseason with 1:05 left in regulation and Hellebuyck pulled for the extra attacker.The Predators brought star Carrie Underwood in for the U.S. anthem as a ¡±proud hockey wife¡± of Nashville center Mike Fisher, and Marcus Mariota brought the NFL¡¯s Tennessee Titans offensive linemen to wave the rally towels. Pro Bowl left tackle Taylor Lewan held up a huge catfish before they chugged beers ¨C Lewan using the catfish as a funnel.After throwing up a postseason-high 48 shots in losing Game 1 on Friday night, the Predators wasted no time getting on the board this time. Johansen scored 27 seconds in on Nashville¡¯s first shot and a 1-0 lead Connor Brown Jersey , snapping Winnipeg¡¯s streak of 10 straight games scoring the first goal with the Jets going 9-1-0 in that stretch dating back to the regular season.The Jets made up for that by scoring twice 29 seconds apart to grab the lead. Byflugien scored between Rinne¡¯s pads on a 4-on-4 at 12:47, and Scheifele made it 2-1 with a power-play goal at 13:16 of the period.Subban tied it with a slap shot for Nashville¡¯s first power-play goal of the series and the Norris Trophy finalist¡¯s first goal this postseason at 5:04 of the second. That brought the sold-out crowd to life again, and Rinne settled down as well. A couple minutes later, he made a big pad save on a shot by Kyle Connor and then gloved a shot from Byflugien.Arvidsson gave Nashville a 3-2 lead with a slap shot from the right circle at 18:41 of the second.Coach Paul Maurice said his Jets at least go home with a split and isn¡¯t sure that home ice will be a huge advantage with matchups not changing.¡±There will be a little bit more excitement when Patty rings one off the post,¡± Maurice said of his forward, Patrik Laine.NOTES: The Preds are 3-3 in multiple OT games in franchise history. ¡­ Johansen¡¯s goal was the fastest goal at home in the postseason for Nashville and second fastest overall. ¡­ This was Forsberg¡¯s second three-point game in the playoffs for his career and third multi-point game this postseason. ¡­ Scheifele now has points in four straight games, the first with multiple points in four or more consecutive playoff games since Paul Martin in the first four games of the 2014 first-round with Pittsburgh.¡ª PITTSBURGH (AP) Matt Murray doesn¡¯t keep track of the numbers, which makes it easier for the Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender to not get caught up in them.His goals-against average? No clue. Save percentage? Nope. Pittsburgh¡¯s record during an occasionally uneven regular season for the two-time defending Stanley Cup champions? Give Murray a phone and he¡¯ll probably be able to look it up but otherwise he¡¯s just guessing.¡±For a goalie, it¡¯s not based on how many goals you let in or how many goals get past you or don¡¯t or how many saves you make,¡± Murray said. ¡±It¡¯s not about that. It¡¯s about how you feel.¡±And despite a physically and personally draining six months that included multiple extended absences because of injuries and the loss of his father Jim in January, the 23-year-old insists he¡¯ll be ready when the Penguins open the first round of the playoffs against Philadelphia on Wednesday night.¡±I still pinch myself every day I get to be a part of something like this,¡± Murray said. ¡±It¡¯s so exciting. It¡¯s like Christmas.¡±Even if Murray¡¯s first full season as Pittsburgh¡¯s firmly established No. 1 goalie hardly felt like a holiday at times. He missed two weeks in November with a lower-body injury.A concussion suffered after taking a shot off the mask in practice in February cost him another three weeks. He took a leave to be with his family following his father¡¯s death Frederik Andersen Jersey , but returned eager to get back to the rink that he¡¯s long considered a sanctuary.Murray ended up starting just 45 games and appearing in only 49, the fewest by the Penguins¡¯ top goaltender in a decade. His goals-against average ticked up (2.92) and his save percentage ticked down (.907), both the worst marks of his brief three-year career.Yet the numbers don¡¯t take into account the occasionally iffy play in front of him, particularly a penalty kill that finished a middling 17th in the NHL.Yet it¡¯s not the missed backcheck or the inability to get a clear that people notice. It¡¯s when the puck goes in the net.It¡¯s also, however, why Murray declines to get caught up in his stats. Feel free to point them out. Just don¡¯t be offended when he deletes them immediately. The only shot that matters isn¡¯t the last one, but the next one.¡±Every single play, every single shift, every single time somebody touches the puck, everything resets,¡± he said. ¡±What happened before doesn¡¯t matter unless you allow it to.¡±Something Murray rarely does, part of his preternatural maturity that led the Penguins to make the difficult but necessary decision to leave Marc-Andre Fleury ¨C the winningest goaltender in franchise history and a wildly popular figure both in the dressing room and the city ¨C exposed to Vegas last summer in the expansion draft.Fleury and Murray took a potentially volatile situation in the spring of 2016 and turned it into part of the foundation that helped the Penguins become the first team in nearly 20 years to win back-to-back Cups.Sending Fleury to the Golden Knights meant Murray entered this season without the specter of Fleury waiting in the wings should he falter. At times over the winter Murray flip-flopped between dazzling and dull Womens Jake Gardiner Jersey , kind of like his team.Yet Murray just shrugged his shoulders when asked if he¡¯s worried about his play or staying healthy. He has no control over the latter ¨C there are no guarantees when you make a living willfully putting yourself in front of a piece of rubber hurtling at you at various speeds from various angles ¨C and he¡¯s not concerned about the former.Penguins coach Mike Sullivan has long placed value on Murray¡¯s ability to not get overwhelmed by the stakes.There¡¯s a reason Sullivan turned to Murray at every opportunity in the 2016 playoffs ¨C when the then-21-year-old took over after Fleury was diagnosed with a concussion on the eve of the postseason ¨C and again last spring even though Fleury played brilliantly at times while filling in after Murray sustained a lower-body injury during warmups before Game 1 of Pittsburgh¡¯s first-round series against Columbus.Murray returned and after a wobble in the middle of the 2017 Stanley Cup Final against Nashville, held the Predators scoreless in Games 5 and 6 . In the giddy aftermath, Fleury passed the Cup to Murray, in many ways a literal passing of the torch from one generation to the next.There will be no debating this time around for the Penguins as they chase history. While Casey DeSmith picked up his first career shutout in the regular-season finale against Ottawa last Friday, Pittsburgh¡¯s attempt to become the first team since the New York Islanders of the early 1980s to capture three consecutive Cups will depend largely on Murray.And for all his downplaying of the numbers, Murray is well aware of what having his name on the Cup for a third time in as many years would mean to both himself and the rest of Pittsburgh¡¯s superstar-laden roster.¡±We know what¡¯s in front of us,¡± Murray said. ¡±We know the opportunity is there for the taking. We¡¯re here and now everything resets. For sure obviously we know what¡¯s at stake.¡±¡ª
