Scott Hartnell, P.K. Subban and Viktor Arvidsson scored for the Predators (23-10-5), who moved ahead of the Winnipeg Jets for first place in the Central Division and ended a three-game losing streak at home.

NASHVILLE -- Juuse Saros made 29 saves for his second shutout of the season to help the Nashville Predators a 3-0 win against the Minnesota Wild at Bridgestone Arena on Saturday.

"I think from the start, I felt like we had more energy than them," said Subban, who also had an assist. "I don't know why that is, but we kept pushing and I thought we did a good job of getting pucks deep and just forcing turnovers and then holding onto pucks. Not giving it away, just kind of trying to wear them down."

The Wild (20-16-3) are 8-12-1 on the road. They defeated the Predators 4-2 at Xcel Energy Center on Friday.

"The last two games on the road, we've taken 12 minors and it's taken a lot of the steam out of some offensive players," Wild coach Bruce Boudreau said. "You could see that maybe a little of fatigue was setting in. You're trying not to play these guys, but you need them to play in tough situations. So consequently, maybe in the third period there isn't enough energy to muster up some offense."

It was Saros' first shutout at home in his NHL career. He has a 1.54 goals-against average and a .956 save percentage in his past seven games.

"I'm feeling good, but every game is different," Saros said. "I've just got to make the most out of it and try to be better again the next game."

Hartnell gave the Predators a 1-0 lead at 2:23 of the third period on a wraparound that bounced off Alex Stalock's blocker and into the net. It was Hartnell's fifth goal.

Subban made it 2-0 at 7:50 of the third period on a one-timer from the point. He has 11 points (five goals, six assists) in his past 10 games.

"I'm just trying to do my job," Subban said. "I've got great teammates and great players that make great plays. I've just been able to put the puck on net and good things have happened. I just try to keep my game simple. But what can I say; that's just the benefactor of playing on a good team.

"Any player in this league that has individual success will tell you without a good team around you, you're not going to have much success. We have a great team from top to bottom."

Arvidsson scored an empty-net goal at 17:40 of the third period to give the Predators a 3-0 lead. It was his 12th goal.

Stalock made 26 saves.

The Predators placed forward Filip Forsberg on injured reserve prior to the game. He played 325 consecutive games, including the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Jarnkrok took Forsberg's place on the top line with Ryan Johansen and Arvidsson, and also on the power play.

"I thought [Jarnkrok] played a terrific hockey game," Predators coach Peter Laviolette said. "Even on the power play, he set up [Subban's] goal, but he also set up [Arvidsson] for a post that he hit. Just a really good job, not having much practice time. He's a real smart, real skilled player, and you get an opportunity. We don't want to lose a guy like [Forsberg] because he's so important to our team, but it does present an opportunity."

They said it

"Well, that's what we were talking about in between periods there; whoever scores this first goal is going to probably win. And unfortunately for us, it wasn't us. I feel bad for [Stalock], who in the last two road games in very tough buildings has stood on his head and he's not been rewarded for it." -- Wild coach Bruce Boudreau

"It was another good game, it was a tight game. But I thought we were much more competitive start to finish and much better in a tight area around our net in front of [Saros]. I thought we did a real good job. But even going out for the third period, we knew it was just going to be a matter of staying mentally in it and physically in it and look for a break." -- Predators coach Peter Laviolette
