The first home game in two weeks turned out to be a welcoming sight for the Nashville Predators.
Calle Jarnkrok’s first career NHL hat trick helped lift the Predators to a 5-3 victory over the Los Angeles Kings at Bridgestone Arena.
Nashville (14-5-1) snapped a three-game skid with the victory, while Los Angeles (6-12-1) remained firmly at the bottom of the Western Conference.
Yannick Weber was called for tripping with 7:33 left in the first, but the Kings basically killed off their own penalty with a little help from Pekka Rinne.
