Colton Sissons and Dante Fabbro scored for the
Predators, who started a five-game road trip. Goalie Kevin
Lankinen stopped 22 shots, and Ryan O'Reilly collected an assist
in his 1,000th regular-season game.
Demko stopped Liam Foudy's penalty-shot opportunity 82 seconds
into the game.
Lafferty's second goal of the season opened the scoring at 13:45
of the first period. Lafferty was in front of the net when
Hughes' point shot was stopped, but the puck ricocheted off his
head and into the net.
With his assist on the goal, Hughes reached the 250-point mark
in just his 292nd game.
The Predators responded by taking the lead with a pair of goals
30 seconds apart. Sissons put the visitors on the board when he
was on the spot for a loose puck to net his fifth of the season
at 16:10.
Fabbro gave Nashville a 2-1 edge with a textbook deflection from
the doorstep. It was his first score of the season.
Pettersson replied with a pair of second-period goals. He evened
the score 53 seconds into the middle frame by ripping a shot
from the high slot.
He then put the Canucks ahead for good with a power-play goal at
16:38. With the screen set, Pettersson found the mark from the
right face-off dot to record his sixth multi-point game this
season.
Miller doubled the lead with his fifth goal of the season at
4:11 of the third period; he was on the spot for a loose puck
after another Hughes shot was blocked.
Pettersson's empty-net goal, his fifth marker of the campaign,
with 2:58 remaining rounded out the scoring.
