Final
Weber looks to help Predators notch third straight win
Feb 26, 2009 - 11:28 AM Phoenix (27-29-5) at Nashville (29-28-4), 8:00 p.m. ESTNASHVILLE, Tennessee (Ticker) -- All-Star defenseman Shea Weber is becoming the straw that stirs the drink for the Nashville Predators.
Weber and the Predators seek another strong offensive performance when they host the Phoenix Coyotes on Thursday.
The lowest-scoring team in the NHL, Nashville received goals from four different players in the third period Tuesday to storm past the Chicago Blackhawks and record a 5-3 win in a battle of Central Division rivals.
Weber and J.P. Dumont netted a power-play goal apiece and David Legwand and Joel Ward also tallied in the decisive session for the Predators, who scored five goals for the first time since January 28.
After enduring a 14-game, goal-scoring drought, Weber has tallied in two consecutive contests.
The Coyotes had their two-game winning streak halted with Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the St. Louis Blues.
Phoenix, which has dropped 10 of 13 overall, will play six of its next seven games on the road.
