It's becoming a theme against the Blues: the Predators trail early, but they still go home happy.
For the third time this season Nashville rallied against Central Division rival St. Louis, collecting a 2-1 overtime win and extending its win streak against the Blues to 11 games — a streak that dates back to April 3, 2004.
The Blues, meanwhile, suffered this season's 11th consecutive loss, and its fourth under new Coach Andy Murray.
Predators defenseman Kimmo Timonen scored the game-winner, sending a shot from the point that sailed past the stick-side of St. Louis goaltender Manny Legace during an overtime power play.
Timonen had attempted two other shots on the man advantage in the extra period, but each had been snagged out of the air by Legace.
"It's four-on-three so someone is going to have a good shot or a good chance to score," Timonen said.
It was the second overtime in the last two days between the two squads. The Predators won 3-2 in a shootout on Saturday in Nashville.
