Blue Jackets eye second straight win over Predators

Oct 18, 2008 - 10:07 AM Columbus (2-2-0) at Nashville (2-3-0), 8:00 p.m. EDT

NASHVILLE, Tennessee (Ticker) -- The Columbus Blue Jackets look to complete a home-and-home sweep of the Nashville Predators when they visit the Sommet Center on Saturday.

Captain Rick Nash scored two goals as the Blue Jackets won the first game of the series on Friday, 5-3. The Predators had been 15-0-1 against the Blue Jackets over the previous two seasons.

Nikita Filatov, the sixth overall pick in this past June's draft, and Jakub Voracek also tallied in Friday's win for Columbus, which is seeking its first win at Nashville since April 3, 2006.

The Predators have lost their last two contests without captain Jason Arnott, who is sidelined with a broken finger, but have not necessarily missed his offense.

Nashville has scored seven goals over its past two games but has been hurt by some shaky goaltending.

Dan Ellis surrendered five goals in Wednesday's 6-4 road loss to the Dallas Stars, while Pekka Rinne gave up three tallies on eight shots before he was pulled in favor of Ellis during Friday's setback.
