After four Predator penalties to begin the second, Stamkos scored his own goal on a power-play to put the Lightning up 4-0.
The Predators did not go down without a fight though. Nashville began the third with two quick goals. Eeli Tolvanen picked up the first goal with a perfectly placed shot that rendered Vasilevskiy pretty much useless. It was also Tolvanen’s first goal since December 2018.
Nashville struck again just a few minutes later. This time the goal came from Mikhail Granlund who captured control of a loose puck. Gourde rounded out the game for the Lightning with an empty-net goal coming with just 16 seconds left.
