A day after moving back into a Western Conference wild-card playoff spot, the Nashville Predators aimed for their fifth consecutive victory Sunday night against the Anaheim Ducks to finish their road trip.

The result was a 4-2 victory, which completed the first five-game road trip sweep in franchise history.

After a scoreless first period, Predators captain Roman Josi’s 12th goal of the season a minute into the second put them ahead 1-0.

But Isac Lundestrom deleted that lead just after a Ducks power play ended with 8:05 left in the second.

Filip Forsberg’s 28th goal of the season, off a faceoff with 16:34 left in regulation, put the Predators ahead again. Michael McCarron followed with his eighth goal with 11:17 left to give them a two-goal lead.

Brett Leason pulled the Ducks to within one with a 6-on-5 goal with 2:24 left, but Gustav Nyquist’s third empty-net goal of the season made it 4-2 Nashville.

The Predators defeated the St. Louis Blues, Vegas Golden Knights, Los Angeles Kings and San Jose Sharks since an embarrassing 9-2 loss to the Dallas Stars cost them a chance to see U2 in concert in Las Vegas.

Kevin Lankinen made 29 saves for Nashville.

The Ducks are 20-35-3. The Predators are 32-25-2.
