Predators look to remain hot vs. Blue Jackets

Jan 13, 2007 - 4:10 PM Nashville (30-11-3) at Columbus (16-23-5) 7:00 pm EST

COLUMBUS, Ohio (Ticker) - The Nashville Predators seek to match a season high with a fifth straight win when they visit the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday.

In the first game of the home-and-home series on Friday, Jason Arnott scored the game-winning goal and Tomas Vokoun made 22 saves for his second shutout of the season in a 2-0 victory for the Predators.

Steve Sullivan had netted the winning tally in each of Nashville's previous three victories but was kept off the scoresheet. However, Arnott scored his fifth goal in as many games in the first period to give the Predators all the offense they needed.

The Blue Jackets are hoping for the return of superstar Sergei Fedorov, who has missed two games with an elbow injury.
