\n

Juuse Saros made 27 saves to post his fourth shutout of the season as the visiting Nashville Predators defeated the Vancouver Canucks 3-0 on Friday.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Steven Stamkos broke the scoreless deadlock, and Gustav Nyquist and Colton Sisson’s both produced one goal and one assist for the Predators, who snapped a three-game losing streak.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Saros earned his 27th career shutout as the struggling Predators finally picked up a victory in their fourth outing of a six-game road trip.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Kevin Lankinen took the net with Vancouver’s No. 1 goalie Thatcher Demko sidelined due to back spasms, and he stopped 16 of the 17 shots he faced.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Vancouver, which also has top scorer Quinn Hughes, key forward Elias Pettersson and defenseman Filip Hronek sidelined due to injury, has managed only two wins in its past eight outings (2-3-3).<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

During an entertaining and intense goaltender battle, Stamkos finally opened the scoring at 16:53 of the second period. He buried a one-timer from the left faceoff dot set up by a give-and-go with Jonathan Marchessault. Stamkos has scored 19 goals in 22 career games vs. the Canucks.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Nyquist, who was earlier denied on a breakaway, added much-needed insurance with an empty-net goal with 1:44 remaining, his first goal in 19 games.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Sissons added another empty-netter in the final minute to round out the scoring.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Saros delivered a sparkling performance from the drop of the puck, stopping J.T. Miller’s first-period breakaway and protecting the lead with a key stop on Pius Suter’s blast midway through the third period.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

The Canucks nearly opened the scoring early in the second period, but Teddy Blueger’s apparent tally was called back due to goaltender interference.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

The Canucks, who failed to convert on any of their three power-play opportunities, have a middling 7-8-6 home record, with only two victories in their last six home clashes (2-2-2).<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
