NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Ryan Kesler seems to be trying to carry the Vancouver Canucks into the Western Conference finals almost singlehandedly. Kesler broke a tie with a power-play goal at 7:28 of the third period for his second straight game-winner, and the Canucks beat the Nashville Predators 4-2 Thursday night to grab a commanding 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven series. Kesler now has six points in helping the Canucks win both games in Nashville.
