Hertl tied the score at 4-4 on the power play when he slid a feed from Mark Stone through the legs of Ullmark with 3:11 left. Kolesar scored one minute later to give Vegas the lead, before Barbashev tacked on an empty-netter for his second goal of the game and seventh of the season.
Predators 3, Blackhawks 2
Brady Skjei scored the go-ahead goal at 13:07 of the third period and visiting Nashville rallied from a two-goal deficit to beat Chicago.
