Nashville defeated Columbus 4-3 on Jan. 26 and now has won four of the last five meetings with the Blue Jackets. Pekka Rinne saved 30 shots and Craig Smith scored two goals. Rinne is 22-15-6 with a 2.43 goals-against average and looks to bounce back from his team's 5-2 loss at Minnesota last night when he recorded 28 saves. Rinne has a 2.71 goals-against average on the road. Nashville has won four of its last five in the second of back-to-back games. Columbus comes off an emotionally draining 2-1 overtime win against Pittsburgh on Friday, and the Blue Jackets are just 2-8 their last 10 games after a win. Brandon Dubinsky scored the game-winner and Sergei Bobrovsky made 38 saves. The Predators have won 38 of the last 52 meetings. The value is with the Predators on the puckline.
