Mike Fisher's goal in the 112th minute of action in the wee hours Friday morning ensured that the longest game in Nashville Predators' history was a triumphant one.
After Martin Jones failed to corral a high shot from the point, Fisher dug the puck out and swept in his second goal of the game to lift the Predators to 4-3 triple-overtime win that evened their second-round series with the San Jose Sharks at two games apiece.

Fisher's line of Colin Wilson and James Neal accounted for each Nashville goal, but the most important contributor wearing gold was goaltender Pekka Rinne. He made 44 stops in the contest, including 21 in the sudden-death frames.
