Roman Josi scored twice and Jonathan Marchessault scored a goal and assisted on another to lead the Nashville Predators to a 4-1 victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday night. Steven Stamkos also scored and Juuse Saros made 22 saves for the Predators, which have won two of their last three games. Adam Lowry scored and Eric Comrie made 32 saves for Winnipeg, which had a two-game winning streak snapped and was coming off a win in Pittsburgh on Friday.

Nashville played their first home game after returning from a two-week, five-game road trip where it went 1-2-2. Stamkos' third-period goal came on a Nashville power play. Six of his seven goals on the season have come with the man-advantage, and he has three power-play goals over the last three games.
