Recap

Predators come back to beat the Blues 5–2 in Nashville

The Nashville Predators beat the St. Louis Blues 5–2 on Saturday, October 17, 2026 at Bridgestone Arena, coming back from a one-goal deficit to win. Philip Broberg put the Blues ahead midway through the first period with his first goal of the season, assisted by Mason McTavish. The Predators then scored 3 goals in a row: Jonathan Marchessault tied it on the power play, Filip Forsberg put Nashville ahead, and Adam Edstrom made it 3–1 with a shorthanded goal 7:05 into the second period. Jimmy Snuggerud answered 31 seconds later on the power play to pull the Blues within one, but Ryan O’Reilly restored the two-goal lead early in the third and Jack Drury added another to make it 5–2.

Forsberg finished with 2 points on a goal and an assist and was named the game’s first star. Steven Stamkos, Adam Wilsby and Roman Josi each had 2 points, all on assists. Juuse Saros got the win with 24 saves on 26 shots, while Jordan Binnington made 19 saves on 24 shots and took the loss. The Blues outshot the Predators 26–24, and both teams had about the same scoring chances: the Blues’ shots were worth 2.3 goals and the Predators’ 2.5. Nashville improved to 3-2-3 this season, while the Blues fell to 3-4-1 with their 2nd regulation loss in a row.
