Rinne makes 32 saves as Predators stop Jets’ streak, 5-3
NASHVILLE — With a chance to contribute on special teams, Mattias Ekholm is showing just how dangerous he can be for the Nashville Predators.
Kyle Turris, Kevin Fiala and Ryan Johansen each had a goal and an assist to lead the Predators past the Winnipeg Jets 5-3 on Monday night.
Ekholm and Nick Bonino also scored, and P.K. Subban, Viktor Arvidsson and Roman Josi added two assists apiece as Nashville won for the seventh time in eight games. Pekka Rinne made 32 saves.
Ekholm has scored in four straight games, extending the best streak of his career and establishing a Nashville record for goals in consecutive games by a defenceman. Three of them have come on the power play, and the other short-handed.
