Jets 5, Predators 0: Bryan Little scored a pair of goals and Ondrej Pavelec made 41 saves as host Winnipeg defeated Nashville for the first time in three attempts this season.

Olli Jokinen recorded a goal and an assist while Eric Tangradi and Devin Setoguchi also tallied for the Jets, who posted just their second win in six contests.

Carter Hutton allowed three goals on eight shots for the Predators, who are 2-1-1 on their season-high seven-game road trip. Marek Mazanec came on and finished with 21 saves in his NHL debut.

Little opened the scoring 3:04 into the contest, firing a spinaround shot from the left faceoff circle through traffic and past Hutton for his team-leading ninth goal. Jokinen doubled the lead at 6:47 and Tangradi tipped defenseman Dustin Byfuglien's one-timer less than two minutes later to chase Hutton.

Setoguchi completed the four-goal first period with 3:15 remaining, taking a feed from Jokinen after a faceoff win in the left circle and beating Mazanec from the bottom of the slot. Little capped the scoring midway through the third and Pavelec stopped 17 shots in the session to secure his 11th career shutout.
