COLUMBUS — Calle Jarnkrok scored in the third period, Pekka Rinne stopped 35 shots and the Nashville Predators beat the Blue Jackets 3-1.
The Jackets had tied the score on Pierre-Luc Dubois’ goal but Jarnkrok put Nashville ahead to stay, sweeping a rebound past goaltender Joonas Korpisalo at 14:25.
The Blue Jackets challenged the goal, contending Kevin Fiala interfered with Korpisalo and kept him from making the save, but it was upheld after a video replay.
Matt Irwin scored in the first period and Viktor Arvidsson got an empty-netter in the Predators’ third straight win.
