Ehlers made it 2-0 at 3:47 of the second period when he took a pass from Mark Scheifele and sent a wrist shot over Saros' right shoulder from the high slot for his 10th goal of the season.
Scheifele has four points (one goal, three assists) in his past three games.
The Predators got on the board at 18:11 of the second period. Rocco Grimaldi took a pass from Dan Hamhuis at the point, then sent a pass across the slot to Bonino, who controlled the puck with his skate before knocking it past Hellebuyck for his ninth goal of the season.
Nashville had several chances after pulling Saros for the extra skater but were unable to get the equalizer.
The Jets and the Predators each went 0 for 2 on the power play.
