Weber scores in overtime for Predators

OTTAWA — Shea Weber scored his second goal of the game on a power play in overtime to give the Nashville Predators a 6-5 victory over the Ottawa Senators on Thursday night.

Weber, who also had an assist, ripped a shot between goalie Pascal Leclaire’s pads with Matt Carkner serving an interference penalty.

The goal put an end to a game that saw the Predators blow a 3-0 lead in the third period and the team’s exchange last minute goals.

Chris Phillips scored the tying goal for the Senators with 1.6 seconds left while Ottawa was playing short-handed and Leclaire on the bench for an extra attacker.

Ryan Suter had two goals and an assist, and J.P. Dumont scored once and set up four other goals to help the Predators snap a six-game winless slide.

Rookie Cody Franson also scored for Nashville. It was the first career goal for Franson, who was playing in just his third NHL game.

Dave Scatchard, a veteran of 637 NHL games who was recalled Tuesday from Milwaukee of the AHL, recorded an assist, his first NHL point since Jan. 7, 2007. Rookie Alexander Sulzer, also recalled Tuesday, had his first career point with an assist.

Pekka Rinne made 27 saves for his first victory of the season.

Anton Volchenkov had a goal and an assist, and Chris Campoli, Nick Foligno and Milan Michalek also scored for Ottawa. Jason Spezza had three assists, Daniel Alfredsson added two, and Leclaire finished with 31 stops.
