KEY GAME INFORMATION
NASHVILLE: LAST SEASON: 41-27-14, 96 points. Fourth in Central Division. Lost to San Jose Sharks in Western Conference semifinals.
COACH: Peter Laviolette (third season, 15th NHL season).
ADDED: D P.K. Subban, D Matt Carle and D Yannick Weber.
LOST: D Shea Weber, G Carter Hutton and D Barret Jackman.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Subban. The $9 million-per-year defenseman arrived June 29 in a trade that sent captain Shea Weber to Montreal. Subban is seen as an offensive upgrade. His speed and skill with the puck is a much better match for Laviolette's approach, giving the Predators a chance to score more points in the very competitive Central Division.
OUTLOOK: Stanley Cup Finals is a reasonable prediction. The Predators have made some big moves revamping this roster over the past two seasons with Subban easily the biggest yet. The Predators are banking on more offense helping them earn home-ice advantage after back-to-back seven-game series against California teams as the West's first wild card last spring.
COLUMBUS: LAST SEASON: 34-40-8, 76 points. Last in the Metropolitan Division, missed the playoffs.
COACH: John Tortorella, second year, 34-32-8
ADDED: C Sam Gagner, D Scott Harrington, LW Pierre-Luc Dubois.
LOST: RW Rene Bourque, RW Jared Boll, D Fedor Tyutin, D Justin Falk, LW Kerby Rychel.
PLAYER TO WATCH: LW Brandon Saad. Acquired in a trade with Chicago before last season, the 23-year-old Saad scored 31 goals and added 22 assists for 53 points, all career highs. He and center Boone Jenner were among the few bright spots in the team's dismal season last year. That pair, along with right wing Cam Atkinson will make a potent first line.
OUTLOOK: Columbus made no blockbuster deals in the off-season, meaning it is starting the season with the same group of players that made it one of the NHL's sad sacks last year. But team president John Davidson believes his players will perform up to their potential under Tortorella, who replaced Todd Richards after seven games last season. He's also ready to tap into the talented pool of players that helped the Lake Erie Monsters win the AHL's Calder Cup. A fully healthy Sergei Bobrovsky in the net will be a huge boost. Still, everything will have to click just right to get the Blue Jackets to the playoffs.
PREVIEW
Blue Jackets host Predators before taking a break

The Columbus Blue Jackets have started to do the right things again. The Nashville Predators would like the backsliding to stop.

Playing their final game before going on an extended break, the Blue Jackets hope to continue their latest surge when they meet the struggling Predators on Sunday evening.

The Blue Jackets are looking for a split of the season series with their former division rival after losing 4-3 in Nashville on Jan. 26. Columbus has won four of its last five at home over the Predators.

Columbus also goes for its fifth win in seven games after topping the Pittsburgh Penguins 2-1 in overtime on Brandon Dubinsky's game-winner on Friday. That moved the Blue Jackets one point behind the Penguins for second place in the Metropolitan Division and six points in back of the first-place Washington Capitals, who are visiting the New York Rangers Sunday afternoon.

After being blanked by the Vancouver Canucks on Feb. 9, Columbus has taken three of four, including a pair of one-goal decisions.

"We're starting to play the right way consistently," Dubinsky told the Blue Jackets' official website. "We talked about this all year. It's a long season, and we went through a period where we weren't playing our best hockey. I think we're back to playing the way we want to and we're getting results because of it."

Dubinsky has two goals and three assists as part of a season-high four-game points streak. He's also not the only one who's been surging recently. Seth Jones has four assists while Boone Jenner and Nick Foligno have each scored twice in four games.

Cam Atkinson needs one goal to set a new career high, but he's also faltered against the Predators with one goal in 12 career games. The sixth-year pro remains the team's leader with 27 goals and 50 points.

In goal, Sergei Bobrovsky is 2-2-0 in his last four starts despite stopping 114 of 122 shots in that span for a .934 save percentage. In his last home start against Nashville in November 2015, Bobrovsky stopped 39 shots in a 4-0 victory.

Following this contest, the Blue Jackets won't play again until Saturday when it wraps up a season-high seven-game homestand against the New York Islanders.

Nashville (27-22-8) is in the middle of a stretch of three games in four nights. The Predators returned from their bye week with their fourth loss in six games, 5-2 to the Minnesota Wild on Saturday.

"It's that time of the year where these points are important," Nashville center Vernon Fiddler told the team's official website. "If you get the two points, you have to put it in the bank and move on to the next one and get those two points. With the loss, you've got to do the same thing. You can't lose two in a row, and we lost this one, but we've got to get back on the horse and get back at it tomorrow."

Colin Wilson scored and assisted on P.K. Subban's marker while Pekka Rinne stopped 28 of 32 shots.

"We'll look at some stuff tomorrow morning, I'm sure, and things we can do better, but our guys, we competed hard," Nashville center Ryan Johansen told the team's website. That's the main thing, so as long as we lace them up again tomorrow and have the same work ethic, hopefully a couple bounces will go our way and stay out of the box a little more, and we'll be successful."

This game marks the return of Johansen to Ohio's capital after Nashville acquired him for Jones on Jan. 6, 2016.

In 99 games since the deal, Johansen leads the Preds with 74 points -- one more than Filip Forsberg. This season, Johansen is Nashville's top scorer with 40 points (nine goals, 31 assists).

Rinne, who has alternated losses and wins in his last seven starts, is 8-10-2 with a 2.71 goals-against average on the road. He is 5-7-0 in Columbus over his career.

Columbus is expected to have Scott Hartnell back in the lineup after missing two games with a lower-body injury. Hartnell, who played with Nashville from 2000 to 2007, has 13 goals and 17 assists 55 games but hasn't had a point in his last six contests.
