Nashville (15-22-7, 37 points) beat the Chicago Blackhawks 3-2 on Thursday, clinching the win with a 3-for-3 shootout performance from Gustav Nyquist, Ryan O'Reilly, and Steven Stamkos. It was the Predators' first appearance in a shootout this season.

The Minnesota Wild and Nashville Predators presumably met up for a hockey game on Saturday night at Bridgestone Arena. However, spectators might be excused for thinking they had tickets for a boxing or UFC event instead.

Kansas City Chiefs punter Matt Araiza intentionally tiptoed out of the end zone Saturday to surrender a safety, which added meaningless points to the scoreboard but shook the gambling world.
