There were no problems with the plumbing Saturday night at Ball Arena, but the Avalanche’s opponent still needs a plunger.
Mikko Rantanen and Alex Newhook scored in the second period, Alexandar Georgiev saved 25 of 26 shots and the Avs never trailed in a 3-1 win over the division rival Predators.
Colorado (16-11-2) has picked up at least one point in four of the last five games, while Nashville has lost six in a row dating back to early December — shortly after an Avalanche-Predators game was postponed due to a water main break caused flooding at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena.
