Filip Forsberg’s second natural hat trick
in the past three games and Pekka Rinne’s fourth shutout propelled the
Nashville Predators to a 5-0 win against the St. Louis Blues at Bridgestone
Arena on Saturday.
Nashville (31-21-11) has won four games in
a row and has at least one point in nine consecutive games (6-0-3).
Forsberg scored three times in the second
period, his 24th, 25th and 26th, equaling his total from his rookie season last
season. He passed defenseman Roman Josi for the team lead in points with 46.
Forsberg had 63 points last season.
