Fisher’s power-play goal with 4:46 left pulled the Predators to within 4-3 as he tipped in Roman Josi’s shot from the point. It was Fisher’s third goal, all on the power play.

The only Washington skater who doesn’t wear a protective visor, Winnik was hit when he slid to block Reilly Smith’s shot in the third period.

Winnik returned to finish the game.

FLYERS: Forward Dale Weise was suspended for three games without pay by the NHL for an illegal check to Anaheim defenseman Korbinian Holzer’s head.

The hit came in the second period of the Flyers’ 3-2 home loss Thursday night. Weise wasn’t called for a penalty.

The suspension will cost Weise $39,167.
