NASHVILLE, Dec. 6 (UPI) -- Defenseman Andy Delmore scored a pair of power-play goals and Scott Hartnell collected two assists Thursday night as the Nashville Predators finally secured the 100th win in team history, 4-2 over the Ottawa Senators.
Delmore got the eventual game-winner 14 seconds into the second period. He received a pass from Hartnell at the left point, took a few strides toward the net and wristed a shot over goaltender Patrick Lalime's glove.
Delmore put a rising slap shot past Lalime with 12:39 left in the first period go give the Predators a 2-0 lead. The 24-year-old defenseman nearly recorded his first regular-season hat trick but put a shot off the goalpost two minutes after his second goal.
Mike Dunham stopped all 18 shots over the first two periods, but Daniel Alfredsson spoiled his shutout bid with 13:27 remaining. Defenseman Zdeno Chara had the other goal for the Senators.
Greg Johnson opened the scoring 77 seconds into the game with his 100th NHL goal. Vladimir Orszagh's power-play tally midway through the final period extended Nashville's lead to 4-1.
Nashville snapped a four-game losing streak but has won a team-record six in a row at home.
