Nashville 6, Vancouver 2

NASHVILLE, Dec. 20 (UPI) -- Six different players scored Thursday night as the Nashville Predators extended their franchise record home unbeaten streak to 10 games with a 6-2 victory over the Vancouver Canucks.

The Predators had not played since Sunday and looked well-rested instead of rusty. They tied their season high with six goals and set a franchise record with four on the power play.
