Predators Down Blues, NHL Scores

By ESPN

With the Nashville Predators struggling to generate offense, Calle Jarnkrok delivered at just the right time.

Jarnkrok scored twice to lead the Predators over the St. Louis Blues 3-1 on Thursday night.

James Neal also scored and Pekka Rinne made 23 saves for Nashville, which has won two straight for its first winning streak of the season.

"I've been feeling good," Rinne said. "I always put a lot of pressure on myself, but at the same time this year, I try to focus on the things that I can control and not to get frustrated at what the game throws at you. I just try to focus on doing my job."

Jaden Schwartz had the lone goal and Carter Hutton made 25 saves for the Blues.

Schwartz scored the game's first goal at 3:59 of the opening period.

From the right corner, Vladimir Tarasenko found Schwartz in the lower part of the right faceoff circle, where he beat Rinne on the short side with a wrist shot just inside the post.

Nashville drew even at 18:26 of the second on Jarnkrok's second goal of the season.

In the right corner, Colin Wilson's spinning backhand pass glanced off the skate of Blues defenseman Jay Bouwmeester and landed on Jarnkrok's stick in the slot. Jarnkrok double-clutched and then beat Hutton high to the glove side.
