Preds move into playoff position with win over Senators

The Nashville Predators had to overcome deficits twice en route to a 3-2 win over the Ottawa Senators, and their power play helped guide them there.

Ottawa took a 1-0 lead just 4:16 into the game, but Colin Blackwell helped the Predators respond quickly, netting a goal just 20 seconds later. The Senators scored again near the end of the period, but from then-on, it was all Nashville as they potted two power play goals to get the win. Goaltender Juuse Saros made 33 saves to seal his 13th win of the season.
