(AP Photo)VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) - Ryan Suter tied the game with 67 seconds left and Matt Halischuk won it 14:51 into double overtime as the Nashville Predators beat the Vancouver Canucks 2-1 on Saturday night and tied the Western Conference semifinal series 1-1.
After Pekka Rinne made several acrobatic game-saving stops in extra time, Halischuk took a cross-ice pass from Nick Spaling and fired a quick shot over a diving defender and past the glove of goalie Roberto Luongo.
Alex Burrows scored a short-handed goal two minutes into the second period and it appeared Luongo would make it stand up for his second straight shutout in the series.
But Suter tied it on Nashville's 36th shot, a harmless looking centering pass from below the goal line that went between Luongo's legs and bounced in off his left skate.
The series will continue Tuesday night in Nashville.
