Panthers 3, Predators 2
David Booth scored to snap a tie with just over four minutes remaining in the third period as the Florida Panthers ended the visiting Nashville Predators' six-game winning streak with a 3-2 triumph on Thursday.
Rostislav Olesz collected a goal and an assist and Radek Dvorak also tallied as Florida (20-20-2) opened its five-game homestand with a victory.
Scott Clemmensen finished with 27 saves to improve to 4-5-1 this season.
After Olesz leveled the contest at 2-2 with 6:26 remaining in the third period, Booth netted his 13th goal of the season - and third in four games - just over two minutes later.
David Legwand and Colin Wilson scored for Nashville (23-14-6), which fell to 7-3-1 in its last 11 games away from Music City.
Legwand has provided some offensive punch since returning from a lower-body injury which sidelined him for 18 games. The second overall pick of the 1998 draft, Legwand has three goals and four assists in his last seven contests.
Pekka Rinne turned aside 31 shots in his first loss in six outings.
