AT FIRST glance, it was a throwaway moment - a routine play in the NHL that you probably wouldn't spend another second thinking about.

The Predators' net, with Anders Lindback on the bench, was as empty as the Wells Fargo Center, since Wayne Simmonds' goal with 4 minutes and 41 seconds left had already sent most of the 19,823 in attendance sprinting toward the parking lot.

Jaromir Jagr picked up the puck in the neutral zone and barreled in on the Nashville ...
