NASHVILLE -- The Nashville Predators were happy to be back home, even if it was
for just one game.
NFL Jerseys China . Rookie Marek Mazanec made
39 saves for his first NHL victory and the Predators beat the Chicago Blackhawks
7-2 Saturday night. Craig Smith scored a goal and added two assists for the
Predators. The three-point game equaled the Madison, Wis. natives career high.
Matt Cullen, Nick Spaling, Patric Hornqvist, Viktor Stalberg, Mike Fisher and
Shea Weber also scored for Nashville, which ended a four-game losing streak.
Patrick Kane and Brandon Pirri had the goals for Chicago, which had its
four-game winning streak snapped. Making his second start in as many days,
Mazanec stopped seven shots in the first, 17 in the second, and 15 in the third.
"Its awesome," Mazanec said. "I am really happy. We played a really good game."
The 22-year-old Czech is playing his first season in North America. Nashville
played its first home game since Oct. 26, having just returned from a seven-game
road trip that spanned 17 days. They head back out on the road for games in
Detroit and Toronto next week. "Good response by our guys today," Nashville
coach Barry Trotz said. "We looked at this game as the end of road trip, not the
first home game really because of the quick turnover and obviously playing the
Stanley Cup champions." Cullen scored the games first goal at 7:28 of the
opening period. From the slot, Smiths slap shot was stopped by Chicago
goaltender Nikolai Khabibulin. The rebound fell to the right of the net, and a
diving Cullen poked the rebound in for his third goal of the season. Less than a
minute later, Spaling doubled the Nashville lead when his wrist shot from the
right faceoff dot slipped just underneath the crossbar at 8:25. Later in the
first, Khabibulin left the game with an injury after making stops on shots from
Weber and Hornqvist. Corey Crawford replaced Khabibulin at 15:33. Following the
game, the Blackhawks said that Khabibulin had a lower-body injury, but had no
further update. "We got outworked," Chicago captain Jonathan Toews said. "We
didnt do the things we needed to. We didnt win our battles, especially in the
right areas we needed to win them in." Hornqvists sixth goal of the season came
at 9:02 of the second to give Nashville a 3-0 lead. With Nashville on a power
play, Roman Josis slap shot from just above the left faceoff circle was tipped
by Hornqvist in front and beat Crawford on the short side. Smith and Kane traded
goals late in the second, with Smith connecting at 18:18 and Kane answering 26
seconds later. "We just stayed positive and erased the last couple of games,"
Smith said. "We just kind of refreshed for this game. Its also nice to be home.
Its a good feeling." Pirri briefly cut the Nashville lead to 4-2 at 6:14 of the
third, but Stalberg, the former Blackhawk, struck back at 6:29. Fisher added his
at 12:19. "It was a free night for them offensively, we were very gracious,"
Chicago coach Joel Quenneville said. "We know what it takes and we know theyre
going to be desperate." Weber scored on the power play at 14:07. His assist
earlier in the game on Hornqvists goal was his 300th career NHL point. The seven
goals were a season high for Nashville. Notes: Mazanec became just the eighth
goaltender in Nashville franchise history to record a victory. ... Nashville C
Filip Forsberg missed the game with an upper-body injury. He is listed day to
day. ... Kane has at least one point in his past six games. ... Chicago RW
Marian Hossa missed the game with a lower-body injury.
