Stamkos one-timed Ryan O’Reilly’s pass in the low slot just after Panthers defenseman Gustav Forsling and goalie Sergei Bobrovsky slid into the net, which came off its moorings. O’Reilly had a goal and an assist for the Predators (10-13-4) who have won four of their past five games. Juuse Saros made 30 saves.

The Nashville Predators visit the Florida Panthers at Amerant Bank Arena on Dec. 4. The Predators are coming off their biggest win of the season on Dec. 2, beating the Calgary Flames 5-1 at Bridgestone Arena.
