Predators 6, Flames 5: Captain Shea Weber capped his second two-goal performance of the season with 5:32 left in the third period to snap a tie and Matt Cullen recorded a tally and three assists as visiting Nashville held on to end its three-game losing streak.

Patric Hornqvist registered a goal and two assists, defenseman Victor Bartley netted his first NHL tally and Viktor Stalberg also scored for the Predators, who were outscored 11-2 during their skid. Carter Hutton picked up the win by making 10 saves in relief of Pekka Rinne, who allowed four goals on 18 shots.

Mike Cammalleri scored two goals and set up another, blue-liner Kris Russell collected a tally and two assists and Mikael Backlund added one of each for Calgary, which suffered its second loss in six home games. Jiri Hudler also tallied and Joey MacDonald yielded two goals on nine shots after replacing rookie Joni Ortio, who stopped 9-of-13 shots.

Nashville took a 2-0 lead less than six minutes into the contest as Bartley and Weber scored 49 seconds apart, but Calgary halved the deficit on Russell's power-play goal with 34 seconds remaining in the first period. After Hornqvist restored the two-goal advantage 4:10 into the second, Cammalleri and Hudler tallied in a 51-second span to forge a 3-3 tie.

Stalberg buried his second stuff attempt at the right post 52 seconds later to put the Predators back in front and chase Ortio, but Backlund fired the puck into a vacant net with 6:29 left in the session following a turnover by Rinne, whose night also came to an end. Weber gave Nashville the lead for good late in the third, beating MacDonald with a one-timer from the right faceoff circle during a power play for his 18th of the season. Cullen added much-needed insurance with 2:52 remaining as Cammalleri completed his fourth two-goal effort of the campaign 28 seconds later.
