Mike Fisher scored twice and Pekka Rinne turned aside 25 shots to win his eighth straight start as the Nashville Predators skated to a 4-1 victory the visiting Columbus Blue Jackets on Monday.

Patric Hornqvist and Matt Halischuk also tallied, and Martin Erat and defenseman Ryan Suter notched a pair of assists apiece for Nashville, which has won five straight at Bridgestone Arena and 11 of its last 13 games overall. Also, the Predators have defeated the Blue Jackets in all five meetings this season.

With the game tied 1-1 in the waning moments of the second period, captain Shea Weber's blast from the point was denied by Steve Mason. Fisher alertly cleaned up the rebound for his 11th goal of the season - and sixth at the expense of the Blue Jackets.

Halischuk doubled the advantage after wristing a shot from the slot at 7:37 of the third period. Hornqvist capped the scoring by tallying for the second straight game as Columbus fell for the 14th time in 18 games.

Fisher opened the scoring 8:07 into the first period after taking advantage of Antoine Vermette's turnover and quickly wristing a shot past Mason.

Fisher, however, was responsible for the turnover that led to captain Rick Nash leveling the contest 6:14 into the second period. Nash collected the puck and skated hard to the net before beating Rinne as he was diving to the ice.
