Roman Josi and Ross Colton each recorded a goal and an assist Tuesday as the Nashville Predators beat the Carolina Hurricanes 4-1 and ended Carolina’s six-game point streak.
Nick Perbix opened the scoring with 7:28 remaining in the first period, finishing a cross-ice pass from Filip Forsberg. Nashville carried a 1-0 lead into the first intermission despite being outshot 9-5.
Josi doubled the advantage 3:29 into the second period, again after a cross-ice feed from Forsberg. Jackson Blake answered for Carolina later in the period, scoring after his first shot was blocked.
Adam Edstrom restored Nashville’s two-goal lead at 5:40 of the third. He redirected Josi’s shot for his sixth goal of the season, a career high, and his second goal in as many games. Colton added an empty-net goal in the final minute.
Juuse Saros made 29 saves for Nashville. Carolina’s Pyotr Kochetkov stopped 16 shots and lost for the first time after winning his first 10 starts of the season.
Forsberg’s two assists extended his point streak to five games. Blake’s goal stretched his own point streak to seven.
Shane Wright played 15 minutes in his Predators debut after Nashville acquired him from Seattle on Sunday. He centered the second line and was on the ice for the Predators’ first two goals.
The victory was Nashville’s second in a row. Carolina had gone 5-0-1 during its six-game point streak before Tuesday’s loss.
