Subban scored twice in the second period and Rinne made 24 saves, helping Nashville to a 3-1 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Monday night.Viktor Arvidsson also scored and Ryan Ellis added three assists for the Predators, winners of two of three.Just the way we played good defense and made good decisions with the puck led to good offense and ultimately staying out of our end keeping their chances down, Nashville coach Peter Laviolette said. They are a very dangerous team, very fast, very skilled, and you really have to pay attention to what you are doing on the ice and I thought our guys were really detailed tonight.Rinne improved to 6-1-2 in November. He made 15 saves through two periods and stopped 9 of 10 in the third to earn victory.I was able to make a couple of big saves in the first and that obviously gives you good confidence, Rinne said. Ive been feeling really good as of late, just trying to keep it rolling, and try not to focus too much on how many shots Im going to get.Tyler Johnson scored and Ben Bishop made 27 saves for Tampa Bay, which got its only defeat in the final game of a five-game trip.We didnt have the puck enough, we didnt create enough offensive zone time, and when you are defending a lot, chances are you are going to get a lot of penalties called against you, Lightning forward Brian Boyle said. Its not a good recipe for success.Arvidsson scored the games first goal at 4:25 of the first.Ryan Johansen won a faceoff against Ondrej Palat in the circle to the left of Bishop. The puck came back to Ellis, who passed to Roman Josi on the right boards. Josi threw the puck toward the net and Arvidsson was able to deflect it past Bishop on the far side.Subban doubled the Nashville lead at 9:55 of the second.With Nashville on a power play, Ellis had the puck atop the right circle and sent a pass to Subban above the high slot. Subbans one-timer beat Bishop between the pads.The three-point night matched a career high for Ellis.Subban scored his second of the night 2 1/2 minutes later. From the left boards, Filip Forsberg found Subban, again in the high slot. Subbans slap shot through traffic beat Bishop low to the stick side.The one thing about this team that has been different for me is theres always guys in front of the net battling, creating traffic, Subban said. As a guy who likes to shoot the puck and get it to the net, its good to know because when you get the puck, you dont even have to look. You know theres guys around the net or in front and we have success when we continue to do that.The Lightning scored with 49.7 seconds left in the third on Johnsons power-play goal with Bishop pulled for an extra attacker.Its tough to score when youre not generating too much, Tampa Bay coach Jon Cooper said. We just looked like a tired group. Weve got to regroup because that was a winnable hockey game for us and we let it slip.Game notes Forsberg played his 200th NHL game. ...

The 1.83-meter (6-foot) Leapai defeated the previously unbeaten Denis Boytsov in November to become the WBOs mandatory challenger. Leicestershire 207 for 3 (Pettini 76, Delport 68) beat Lancashire 198 for 4 (Petersen 103*) by nine runsScorecard Leicestershires record T20 score at Grace Road proved only just enough to beat Lancashire Lightning, despite Alviro Petersens superb unbeaten century for the champions.So the holders, Lancashire, are eliminated, leaving their director of cricket, Ashley Giles, to bemoan: We almost got there thanks to a brilliant century from Alviro, but we were always behind the eight ball, and most of it was our own doing.Were out of the competition now, and its not just down to this game, we havent got it right in a lot of games. When you dont string two wins together, youre always going to struggle to qualify.Weve consistently lost our way in games. Their score was above par, and that Alviro played so well, and it still wasnt enough, is a pretty big indication they got too much.Leicestershires total, after being put in by Lancashire, was built on a brutal partnership of 140 between Pettini and Delport for the second wicket, compiled in just 12.1 overs.Mark Cosgrove had gone early, chipping a simple catch to Jordan Clark at mid-on off the bowling of former Leicestershire seamer Nathan Buck, but the South African Delport, whose form had been inconsistent since he joined the Foxes for the second half of the T20 season, quickly showed he was determined to make an impression in Leicestershires final home group game.George Edwards was the first to suffer, with the last two balls of his first over hit high over wide mid-wicket and then long-on. Jordan Clark, dropping short, was pullled high over square leg and across Milligan Road.ddddddddddddPettini, wristier and rather less elegant , was nonetheless almost as effective, depositing Stephen Parrys left-arm spin into the Bennett End car park, one of four sixes hit by the former Essex batsman. Delport had hit six maximums in going to 68 off just 35 balls when he top-edged the 36th high to extra cover off Edwards.Pettini followed, leg before to Clark for 76 from 51 balls, but Farhaan Behardien and Lewis Hill ensured Leicestershire reached their record T20 score at the Fischer County Ground, Grace Road.Lancashire quickly lost Luis Reece, bowled hitting across the line at Richard Jones, and when they lost Karl Brown, who sliced off-spinner Rob Sayers first ball high to long-off, and then Liam Livingstone, who nicked a Jones out-swinger to wicket-keeper Hill to leave them on 59 for 3, it looked as though the chase might peter out quickly.Petersen, however, found solid support from captain Steven Croft, and though always slightly behind the required rate, the pair kept Lightning in the hunt in compiling a partnership of 66.Croft smeared a Sayer full toss to midwicket, and Leicestershire seamer Clint McKay - who bowls the best slower ball in T20 cricket, conceded just ten runs from his final two overs, the 17th and 19th of the Lancashire innings, leaving Petersen just too much to do, though he hit the final ball of the innings for four to go his century, his first in T20 cricket.
