Klingberg opened the scoring in the first period by fooling Edmonton goaltender Viktor Fasth with a rising slap shot from just outside the Oilers zone. Boyd Gordon answered with a short-handed goal later in the first for Edmonton, but Seguin tallied twice in the second period to put Dallas ahead for good. This league is too close to give other teams chances and goals like that, Edmonton head coach Dallas Eakins said. The game was there for us. We couldve easily had both points. Taylor Hall notched the 100th goal of his career in the loss, cutting the deficit to 3-2 less than six minutes into the third period. Fasth stopped 30 shots in the loss, which came one day after the Oilers fired goaltending coach Fred Chabot and replaced him with Dustin Schwartz.

Nashville has won four of its last five games and is 2-0 so far on four-game homestand. The Preds are coming off Tuesdays close victory over the defending Stanley Cup champions, downing the visiting Los Angeles Kings after a lengthy shootout battle. James Neal netted the lone goal in the shootout, as Nashville outlasted the Kings, 4-3. None of the first 10 shooters were able to put the puck into the net, but Neal opened up the sixth round by beating Martin Jones between the pads. Rinne then closed off the lane along the ice to deny Dwight Kings chance and end the contest. It felt like a playoff atmosphere here tonight, Preds forward Colin Wilson said. Craig Smith, Ryan Ellis and Eric Nystrom tallied in regulation for the Predators, who have won seven of their last nine overall and four straight on home ice. Rinne ended up with 18 saves and improved to 14-3-1 with a 1.97 GAA this season.
