NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Trying to get a teammate a hat trick nearly cost the Nashville Predators a victory. Sergei Kostitsyn scored two goals, both in the first period, and the Predators tried to get him one more in the closing minutes while holding on for a 5-4 victory over the Anaheim Ducks 5-4 on Thursday night. "Everybody was trying to get Sergei the hat trick," Nashville coach Barry Trotz said.
