"The Predators are one game away from heading into the NHL All-Star break with loads of momentum.

Monday's 4-1 win over Columbus in front of an announced crowed of 14,310 at Bridgestone Arena was Nashville's 11th in their last 13 games.

The Predators visit the Chicago Blackhawks today and will then take six days off before returning to action on Jan. 31.

Nashville ended the season series against Columbus with a 5-0-1 record."
