Nashville returned home for the second half of their first back-to-back of the season, where they faced the Columbus Blue Jackets and managed to get a nailbiter of a win.
Play flowed back and forth for most of the first period, with an early Preds surge — held at bay by goalie Daniil Tarasov — giving way to a hard push late from the Blue Jackets.
Scott Wedgewood made a massive save on Adam Fantilli with less than a minute left in the period, absolutely robbing him to hold the score even, and then had to make several more as the period wound down.
