NASHVILLE – Calle Jarnkrok’s three goals sent many Nashville Predators fans home with a serious case of hat head.

Jarnkrok recorded his first career hat trick to lead the Predators to a 5-3 victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday night.

“That was a good night for him,” Nashville coach Peter Laviolette said. “I thought he played terrific – forget about the goals, just the game in general. I thought he was really moving.”

Nick Bonino and Kyle Turris also scored for Nashville, which snapped a three-game losing streak. Nashville defensemen Ryan Ellis and Roman Josi each had a pair of assists.

For the Kings, Anze Kopitar had a goal and an assist, and Alex Iafallo and Nate Thompson also scored for Los Angeles, which has lost four of five games.
