The Columbus Blue Jackets will look to make it back-to-back wins for the first time this season when they travel to Nashville to take on the Predators on Saturday night.

Columbus comes into the game coming off a 6-2 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday night.

Mathieu Olivier recorded his first career two-goal game for the Blue Jackets. Justin Danforth had a goal and two assists, Sean Monahan and Kirill Marchenko had one each and James van Riemsdyk scored the other goal.

“You want guys to be rewarded for playing the right way and playing hard,” Blue Jackets coach Dean Evason said. “Everyone wants to score, so for us to be able to score in the lineup, our defense has been really good.”

Marchenko has a team-leading eight points in six games. He joins Olivier and Yegor Chinakhov with the club’s top three goals.

Goaltender Daniil Tarasov is 3-1-0 in four starts this season with an .888 save percentage and a 3.29 goals-against average. Tarasov is winless in two career games against the Predators despite a .948 save percentage and 2.05 GAA.

Nashville won both meetings between the clubs last season, beating the Blue Jackets 2-1 on March 9 before defeating Columbus 6-4 on April 13.

The Predators will return home after a 3-2 come-from-behind victory in Chicago on Friday night.

Nashville erased a 2-0 deficit with second-period goals from Filip Forsberg and Gustav Nyquist. Defenseman Brady Skjei scored the game-winning power play goal at 13:07 of the third period. Juuse Saros made 27 saves for the Predators, who have won back-to-back games after opening the season with five losses.

Saros improved to 2-4-0 with the victory.

Nyquist also had an assist and defenseman Alexandre Carrier scored two goals.

“A gutsy win,” said Predators coach Andrew Brunette. “You’re down two on the road…and find a way to get big kills and a big shorty. (Forsberg) made an outstanding play to get us back in the game, and then Brady at the end. “It didn’t. So it wasn’t pretty, but we did some things, and (we) continue to build our game a little bit here. “

Forsberg has two goals and three assists during his five-game point streak.

“It started off a little slow, obviously,” he said. “I thought they were better in the first period, but then we started fighting back. … I thought the penalty kill was great, and then the power play stepped up in the third and gave us a win .”

Goaltender Scott Wedgewood lost his only start this season 4-3 against the Dallas Stars on October 10. In four career games against the Blue Jackets, Wedgewood is 1-1-2 with a .919 save percentage and 2.65 GAA.

Saturday will mark the first of two meetings between the Blue Jackets and Predators this season. Nashville travels to Columbus on April 1 to conclude the season series.
