NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Tomas Vokoun made 35 saves to lead the Nashville Predators to a 2-1 victory over St. Louis on Saturday night, handing the Blues their 10th straight loss.

Nashville snapped a four-game losing streak improved to 6-0-0 against St. Louis this season. The Predators also moved six points ahead of Colorado and Anaheim for fourth place in the Western Conference.

Mike Glumac gave the Blues a 1-0 lead with a power-play goal at 11:43 of the first period. Vokoun was unable to cover the puck during a goalmouth scramble, and it glanced off Vokoun's glove and onto Glumac's stick. The center banged the puck into the net for his sixth goal of the season.
