ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Martin Erat had a goal and two assists, Pekka Rinne stopped 31 shots and the Nashville Predators broke out of a season-long scoring slump with three first-period goals on the way to a 6-1 win over the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday night. Ryan Ellis, Rich Clune and Nick Spaling scored in the opening period for Nashville, which won its third in a row. The Predators entered with an NHL-low 12 regulation goals in their first eight games. St. Louis lost its second straight after winning four in a row from Jan 24-31. Nashville completed a 4-2-1 road trip, tying the longest in franchise history. St. Louis beat the Predators 3-0 on Jan. 24, the second leg of the trip. Rinne improved to 3-2-3 this season. Colin Wilson had three assists for the Predators.

St. Louis was coming off of a three day layoff and it showed. They came out a tad flat and Nashville...
