DALLAS (AP) — Mattias Ekholm started overtime in the penalty box. He finished it off with the winning goal.Ekholm scored 2:27 into overtime Custom Edmonton Oilers Jerseys , and the Nashville Predators rallied to beat the Dallas Stars 5-4 on Saturday.Ekholm was penalized for cross checking with 14 seconds left in regulation, 29 seconds after teammate Roman Josi scored the game-tying goal.Nashville killed off that power play for the first part of OT, and then Ekholm took a cross-ice pass from Kyle Turris and sent the puck over Stars goalie Ben Bishop for his third of the season.“A good regroup by (P.K. Subban) up to (Turris) and he found me,” Ekholm said. “It was nice to see it go in.“I think (Dallas’ Jason Spezza) played an act on the penalty. There’s not much I can do about it. Good job by the guys on killing it.”Nashville (13-3-0) improved to 8-0 on the road this season.Josi and Ryan Johansen each had a goal and an assist for the Predators. Ryan Hartman and Yannick Weber also scored, and Juuse Saros had 20 saves.Spezza, Tyler Seguin, Tyler Pitlick and Denis Gurianov scored for Dallas (9-6-2) www.officialhockeypanthersshop.com , which lost for the third time in four games. Bishop finished with 29 stops.Gurianov got his first NHL point in the third period of his third game. He deflected a rising slap shot from the blue line by Ben Gleason, who was playing in his first NHL game after only 11 pro games for Texas of the American Hockey League.“I woke up this morning with a phone call at 7:30,” Gleason said. “In about 15 minutes I jumped in the shower and packed a bag. I drove right here (from Cedar Park, Texas).“I don’t think I felt my leg until the second period.”Pitlick scored his third of the season 13:05 into the first, and the Stars opened a 3-1 lead on goals by Seguin and Spezza in the second period.Hartman got the Predators on the board 12 seconds into the second, and Johansen and Weber tied the game again with goals in the first 1:54 of the third.“No game is ever out of reach if you can do the right things,” Nashville coach Peter Laviolette said. “I thought the first shift of the third period was really big by the Johansen line. They went down Florida Panthers T-Shirts Authentic , got a goal and shortly another one after that.”Dallas grabbed the lead for the last time when Gurianov scored with 11:02 left.The Predators had a 14-4 advantage in shots on goal and the only two power plays in the first period, but the Stars scored the only goal.Dallas scored on its first power play when Spezza sent in a slap shot from the left circle at 14:32 of the second.NOTES: Dallas’ depleted defense corps received reinforcements. Joel Hanley and the 20-year-old Gleason were recalled from Texas, and the Stars traded a seventh-round draft pick in 2020 to Buffalo for 30-year-old Taylor Fedun. Roman Polak was sick and couldn’t play Saturday. John Klingberg is expected to miss four weeks after surgery Friday to repair his broken left hand. Marc Methot (lower-body injury), Stephen Johns (neck/head) and Connor Carrick (ankle) also are out. Hanley and Gleason played. Methot could be back for Monday’s game, when Fedun would make his Dallas debut. … Predators F Viktor Arvidsson (lower body) returned after missing three games.UP NEXTPredators: Play the third game in a five-game trip Monday at Anaheim.Stars: Continue a four-game homestand against Columbus on Monday. A 36-goal scorer is moving closer to home and couldn’t be happier about it.No, the other one.James van Riemsdyk signed a $35 million, five-year contract with the Philadelphia Flyers on Sunday Florida Panthers Hoodies Authentic , the second-richest deal signed by an NHL unrestricted free agent when the market opened and John Tavares left the Islanders for his hometown team in Toronto.It’s the kind of long-term, big-money contract general manager Ron Hextall has been unwilling to hand out to free agents, though van Riemsdyk became an exception.”The term we could live with,” Hextall said. ”We can manage our way around the salary cap. We’ve looked up, down and all around at different projections for the next few years and we felt comfortable with the term and the player.”Van Riemsdyk will count $7 million against the salary cap through 2022-23, which is currently third on the Flyers behind captain Claude Giroux at $8.275 million and winger Jakub Voracek at $8.25 million. Taken by Philadelphia second overall behind Patrick Kane in the 2007 draft, van Riemsdyk played with Giroux and Voracek during his first stint and talked to them before picking the Flyers over other interested teams.The 29-year-old wasn’t likely to return to Toronto even before the Maple Leafs won the Tavares sweepstakes. But the Middletown Florida Panthers Hats Authentic , New Jersey, native also grew up rooting for the New York Rangers and picked the Flyers in large part because of familiarity .”There were a couple different teams in the mix,” van Riemsdyk said. ”I’m happy to be coming to Philadelphia, and I think it’s going to be a great fit.”Van Riemsdyk set a career high with 36 goals last season, a year after putting up a career-high 62 points. The 6-foot-3, 217-pound winger who was traded to the Maple Leafs in 2012 isn’t a fundamentally different player now but gained confidence and experience from a bigger role in Toronto the past six seasons.”I think my whole game has definitely expanded,” van Riemsdyk said. ”Style-wise Custom Florida Panthers Jerseys , I think I’m still very similar. I think I’m still a cerebral type of player who can skate well and have good offensive instincts and can make the smart plays in all three zones.”He has to be for the Flyers to make this type of commitment. This is by far Hextall’s biggest free agent signing and Philadelphia’s richest since giving goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov $41.88 million on a nine-year deal in 2011.Bryzgalov is retired and still collecting $1.6 million a year from the Flyers through 2026-27. As Bryzgalov was tweeting from Russia’s World Cup game against Spain, the Flyers were introducing van Riemsdyk, who they hope will be a far better use of money with an eye toward contending for the Stanley Cup in the coming years.”Our philosophy four years ago was to get our cap in order and gather young assets,” Hextall said. ”We’ve kind of been through that process now. It’s coming to fruition in terms of guys we have on our team and where we can add to strengthen our team, we want to do it.”—
