R.J. Umberger and Rick Nash scored, while Vinny Prospal added a pair of assists for the Blue Jackets, who have lost four of their last five contests. Steve Mason stopped 25-of-28 shots in defeat.

 

Columbus pulled Mason in favor of the extra attacker with a minute to go in regulation, but was unable to generate any significant offensive pressure.

 

Tampa Bay opened the scoring at 7:27 of the opening stanza when Teddy Purcell chased down a loose puck behind the net and found Jones, who chipped it home from in close.

 

"We kept it close, but made too many mistakes in the first period," Blue Jackets head coach Scott Arniel said. "You can't get behind in this league. We had chances early on but couldn't beat their goaltender and we have to find a way to do that, especially when we have the momentum early."

 

Game Notes

 

Nashville, TN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - David Legwand scored the winner in the shootout as the Nashville Predators took a 2-1 win over the St. Louis Blues. Patrik Berglund, the Blues' third shooter in the shootout, beat Pekka Rinne with a wrister, but the puck ricocheted sharply off the left post.

 

T.J. Oshie netted a goal for the Blues, who got 19 saves from Halak.

 

The Predators got the first tally with 7:28 left in regulation. Mike Fisher fed Shea Weber from the left point. And then from the right circle, Weber quickly flipped a pass to Erat, who tipped it home from the crease.

 

But the Blues tied it on the power play with 3:52 left. David Backes controlled the disc in the left circle, and slipped a backhanded pass to Oshie, who finished with a backhand from the slot.
