(WSCR) - Saturday was a disappointing rematch from the playoffs as the Predators hunted down the Blackhawks in a shootout. The Blackhawks were ahead 3-2 going into the third period, but Nashville scored to bring the game into a scoreless overtime.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Cal O'Reilly scored the only goal in a shootout to give the Nashville Predators a 4-3 victory over the slumping Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday night.

Chicago has dropped three in a row.
In the shootout, O'Reilly beat Chicago goalie Marty Turco with a wrist shot on Nashville's first attempt.
All three Predators goals in regulation came from defensemen: Shane O'Brien, Shea Weber and Cody Franson.
