David Legwand scored two goals, Paul Kariya notched his 500th NHL assist, and the Nashville Predators snapped a three-game skid Thursday night by beating the St. Louis Blues 4-1.
Nashville set franchise records with its 50th victory and 108 points. But the Predators had to wait and see how Detroit (110 points) fared against Chicago to know whether they had any hope of winning the Central Division.
Nashville wraps up its regular season Saturday night at Colorado, while Detroit hosts Chicago.
The Predators had been struggling with a three-game home skid that was the longest this season and in danger of losing a fourth consecutive game for the first time this season. They finally fixed some problems against St. Louis, beating the Blues for the 15th time in 16 games.
Rookie Alexander Radulov and Peter Forsberg also had goals for Nashville, which scored twice on the power play in its final home game of the regular season.
Christian Backman scored the only goal for St. Louis, which had won three of four.
The Note will play the final game of their regular season in Minnesota when they take on the Wild Saturday night. The game starts at 7:05 PM ET.
