Stamkos has goal, assist to lead Predators to 3-1 victory over Blues
Stamkos moved into fifth place in NHL history for power-play goals as Nashville used a 25-save effort from Juuse Saros to win its third straight.
On Saturday, the Nashville Predators defeated the Blues 3-1 as Steven Stamkos recorded a goal and an assist, with goaltender Juuse Saros making 25 saves.
Jimmy Snuggerud gave the Blues an early lead with a first-period power-play one-timer, but Stamkos answered for the Predators, evening the game with his own power-play goal.
Stamkos' 248th career power-play goal moved him into fifth place in NHL history, while Ross Colton and Nick Perbix also scored and Roman Josi contributed two assists for Nashville.
Nashville's penalty kill, ranked third in the NHL at 90%, successfully stifled the Blues, whose three-game losing streak continued despite 26 saves from Joel Hofer.
The Predators visit Los Angeles Tuesday, while the Blues host Detroit Tuesday as both teams prepare for their next matchups.
