Huberdeau, Rooney lead Flames over Predators 4-3, snap eight-game road skid [Video]

NASHVILLE, Tenn. –

Jonathan Huberdeau and Kevin Rooney each scored a goal and added an assist to lead the Calgary Flames to a 4-3 comeback victory over the skidding Nashville Predators on Tuesday night.

Brayden Pachal and Nazem Kadri also scored and Dan Vladar made 17 saves for the Flames, who had lost six of seven.

Jonathan Marchessault scored twice and Tommy Novak had a goal for the Predators, who tied a franchise record with their eighth straight loss. Juuse Saros made 24 saves.

Predators captain Roman Josi did not play in the final two periods due to a lower-body injury. The defenceman logs by far the most ice time of any player on the team at 25:40 per game.

Nashville was already without regular defencemen Jeremy Lauzon and Alexandre Carrier, both sidelined due to injury.
