NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) --- Filip Forsberg and Steven Stamkos scored, Justus
Annunen made 16 saves and the Nashville Predators beat the New York Rangers 2-1
on Sunday night.
Ryan O'Reilly had two assists to help Nashville win its second straight and
third in four games.
Stamkos had an empty-net goal before Jonny Brozinski spoiled Annune's shutout
bid with 35.9 left.
Jonathan Quick made 30 saves for the Rangers. They had won two in a row.
Forsberg opened the scoring midway through the second period. O'Reilly carried
the puck into the New York zone and left a pass for Forsberg on the right side,
where he snapped a wrist shot over Quick's left shoulder for his 16th of the
season. The goal extended points streaks for both Forsberg and O'Reilly, with
Forsberg reaching eight games and O'Reilly seven.
Rangers captain J.T. Miller missed the game with an upper-body injury sustained
in Saturday in a shootout victory over PHiladelphia. Fellow forwards Gabe
Perreault and Matt Rempe missed the game due to illness. The Rangers played
with 11 forwards and seven defensemen due to the three forwards being out of
the lineup.

Rangers: At Washington on Tuesday night.
Predators: At Minnesota on Tuesday night.
