By Jay Recher @jayRecher Yanni Gourde scored a pair of goals, including an empty-netter with 10 seconds left, and Andrei Vasilevskiy made 25 saves as the Lightning defeated the visiting Nashville Predators 5-2 on Monday night at Amalie Arena. Ondrej Palat, Brayden Point & Steven Stamkos also scored for Tampa Bay. The Bolts blitzed Nashville goaltender Jusse Saros early and often and found the net near the midway point of the 1st period. Following a 2-on-1 with Stamkos that was thwarted by Predators defenseman Ryan Ellis, Palat stayed with the play and backhanded the loose puck into the open net to give the Bolts a 1-0 lead at the 9:13 mark.
