WINNIPEG, Manitoba (AP) – Mikael Granlund scored 1:11 into overtime, lifting the Nashville Predators to a 2-1 victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday night.

Granlund’s blast went high past goalie Connor Hellebuyck and gave the Predators their third win in the last four games.

“You just try to shoot it, and I think I missed that shot quite a bit but it still went in,” Granlund said of his 11th goal of the season. “Sometimes those pucks go in.”

Nick Bonino also scored for Nashville, which is 4-2-0 in its past six games.

Juuse Saros made 33 saves for the Predators, who were beginning a four-game trip.
