Nashville Predators fall 3-2 to Minnesota Wild in a controversial overtime loss that has the hockey world debating NHL rulebook interpretations. A disputed goal call overshadowed Steven Stamkos's dramatic game-tying score with just 0.3 seconds remaining in regulation.

Ann Kimmel and Emma Lingan break down the contentious overtime decision where a goal was awarded despite the net being dislodged and questionable puck trajectory. The discussion covers Stamkos ending his nine-game pointless streak, the Predators' special teams collapse without injured Cole Smith, and how the compressed schedule is impacting Nashville's veteran-heavy roster. Matthew Wood's four-game point streak and emerging young talent like Ozzy Weisblatt provide bright spots amid frustration. Michael McCarron's post-game reaction captures the team's disbelief at the final call.

Hear the complete breakdown of this heartbreaking loss and discover why Nashville's young players might be the key to finding hockey joy this season.
