Francis Boullion, Cody Franson and Joel Ward scored to lead the Nashville Predators to a 3-1 victory over the Los Angeles Kings in the NHL on Saturday.Dan Ellis made 27 saves in his first start since Oct. 28, when he was pulled by coach Barry Trotz halfway through a game the Predators would eventually win.
The Predators opened the scoring at 16:38 of the second period while Raitis Ivanans was off for hooking Jordin Tootoo. Franson fired wide on a one-timer from the right point, but Bouillon beat forward Wayne Simmonds to the loose puck after it caromed off the end boards and beat Jon Quick from a sharp angle on the power play for his 22nd goal in 10-plus NHL seasons.
