ST. LOUIS -- Brent Johnson made 26 saves for his first shutout since last December, and Scott Mellanby scored in his season debut.

The Predators saw a much better goaltender. They came up empty on a handful of point-blank shots in Johnson's first shutout since Dec. 23, 2002. He was at his best in the second period when he thwarted David Legwand, Jordin Tootoo, Scott Walker and Marek Zidlicky.
