Predators top Blues, continue their climb

Kyle Turris scored with 2:12 left, and the Predators beat the Blues 21 in Nashville on Sunday to sweep the fourgame season series from the defending Stanley Cup champions.

Nashville, which has its first threegame winning streak since October, has won seven of 10 to climb a point out of the Western Conference’s two wildcard spots.

“You look where we’re at, I think these last three games have given us confidence and see the light now,” Nashville goalie Pekka Rinne said. “It helps us for sure.”

Craig Smith also scored for Nashville, his sixth in five games. He said it was unacceptable that it had been so long for Nashville to win three straight.

“It’s something to build off of,” Smith said.
