NASHVILLE 4, ST. LOUIS 1: Nashville goalie Pekka Rinne made 28 saves in recording his 320th career win, the most of any Finnish-born goalie in NHL history, as the Predators defeated the Blues at Bridgestone Arena Wednesday night.

Rinne passed Mikka Kiprusoff on the list with the win. It was also the head coaching debut for the Blues’ Craig Berube, who replaced Mike Yeo as head coach on an interim basis after Yeo was fired Monday night following St. Louis’ 2-0 loss at home to Los Angeles.

Frederick Gaudreau, Filip Forsberg, Austin Watson, and Ryan Ellis all had goals for Nashville, while Robert Thomas scored his first-ever NHL goal for the Blues’ only score. Jake Allen had 30 saves on the night for St. Louis.

The Blues and Predators meet again Friday night at Enterprise Center in St. Louis in a 7 p.m. face-off. The Blues also host the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday night in a 6 p.m face-off.
