A victory by Nashville over St. Louis tonight at the Sommet Center would match the Predators' longest win streak in franchise history. There is a good chance that could happen, given the club's recent home success over the Blues.

The Predators haven't suffered a loss since November 10 versus San Jose, having won each of their last seven games. Their current run began with a victory in St. Louis and was extended on Wednesday with a 4-3 overtime triumph in Colorado.

David Legwand had the game-winner with 1:53 left in overtime, firing a shot inside the left post.

"I just got the puck on the net and a good thing happened," Legwand said.

J.P. Dumont, Marcel Goc and Shea Weber also scored for the Predators, who began the 2005-06 season by winning eight straight games from October 5-25. Jason Arnott had two assists in Wednesday's victory and Pekka Rinne made 19 saves.

Rinne has been in net for each game of this win streak to tie Tomas Vokoun's franchise record for consecutive victories by a netminder, set in both 2003-04 and 2005-06. Rinne is 3-1-1 with a 2.14 goals-against average lifetime versus the Blues, making 21 saves in beating them on November 12.

Nashville begins a three-game homestand tonight and has also won seven straight as the host, with five of those wins coming on the club's current streak. The Predators are 8-3-0 overall at the Sommet Center this season and 12-0-3 in their last 15 at home versus the Blues.

Nashville hasn't lost to St. Louis at home in regulation since April 3, 2004.

The Blues come into this game having won three of their last four. That includes a 4-3 shootout victory in Dallas on Wednesday in which Brad Boyes notched the deciding tally in the final session.

David Backes and T.J. Oshie finished with a goal and an assist each, and Ty Conklin made 34 saves for St. Louis, though he allowed the game-tying goal with 25.4 seconds left in the third period.

Erik Johnson notched a power-play goal in the first period to snap St. Louis' 0-for-19 skid on the man advantage. The Blues rank second-to-last in the NHL on the power play at 13.1 percent and face a Predators penalty kill that ranks 16th in the league at 80.0 percent this evening.

Chris Mason is likely to start in goal tonight for the Blues. The former Predators netminder, who made 164 starts with Nashville before joining St. Louis prior to last season, is 2-1-2 with a 1.33 GAA versus his old club. He stopped 34-of-36 shots faced in losing to them two weeks ago.

The Blues have lost eight of their last 12 overall to the Predators.
