Matt Villalta made 27 saves for his first NHL win in his second start, while Ryan O'Reilly, Luke Evangelista, and Michael Bunting scored for Nashville.
Utah is 6-1-1 in its last eight games and remains within seven points of a playoff spot. In contrast, Nashville has lost eight of its last ten games and is likely to finish nearly 30 points behind the playoffs.
