NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Shea Weber scored a power-play goal with 29 seconds left in the third period to give the Nashville Predators a 3-2 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday night.
It is the third win in preseason for the Predators.
Andy Murray and Antoine Vermette scored for Columbus.
Ryan Jones and Jason Arnott also scored for Nashville.
Columbus struck first at 6:13 of the first period when a pass by Derek Dorsett bounced off Weber in front of the net. Murray knocked in the loose puck to the glove side of Pekka Rinne.
