NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Pekka Rinne made 19 saves, Filip Forsberg had a goal and an assist, and the Nashville Predators beat the Los Angeles Kings 5-0 on Thursday night.
Making his first start since representing the Predators in last weekend's All-Star Game, Rinne earned his fifth shutout of the season and 48th of his career.
Smith scored first at 10:02 of the opening period on a power play, about a minute after Johansen had a goal disallowed. Los Angeles challenged Johansen's score, and after video review, officials determined that Arvidsson pushed Kings defenseman Drew Doughty into goalie Jonathan Quick prior to Johansen's shot.
