VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) James Neal scored late in the third period to give the Nashville Predators a 2-1 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday night.

Pekka Rinne stopped 28 shots and Craig Smith had the other goal for Nashville, which improved to 3-0 on a four-game Western Conference road swing. The trip has included 4-1 wins at both Winnipeg and Edmonton, and will finish Wednesday in Calgary.

Brandon Sutter scored for the Canucks, who played their last game before the All-Star break. Vancouver just returned from a 10-day road trip that resulted in a 3-2-1 record.
