Streaking Predators visit Flyers

Mar 7, 2009 - 11:25 AM Nashville (33-28-4) at Philadelphia (34-19-10) 7:00 p.m. EST

PHILADELPHIA (Ticker) -- The Nashville Predators hope to take their winning ways at home on the road Saturday when they visit the Philadelphia Flyers.

After finishing off a perfect five-game homestand, Nashville has catapulted itself into the Western Conference playoff picture. With Thursday's 4-2 win over Columbus, their season-high sixth straight, the Predators pulled into a tie for sixth place with the Blue Jackets.

Ryan Jones and Steve Sullivan both scored late in the second period to turn a 2-1 deficit into a 3-2 advantage en route to the win.

Nashville has scored 27 goals in its last five games while rookie goaltender Pekka Rinne has allowed only 11 goals in that span.

Philadelphia has lost three of four (1-2-1) and opened a five-game homestand of its own with a 5-1 loss to Calgary on Thursday.

Mike Knuble scored his 23rd goal of the season but netminder Antero Niittymaki allowed four goals on 19 shots before being pulled in favor of Martin Biron.
