The Panthers point streak is their second-longest to start a season. They had a 12-game streak in 1996-97, when they started 8-0-4 (ties).
The Predators are 1-5-0 on the road after losing three of four on their trip against the Tampa Bay Lightning and Panthers.
"There were a number of learning lessons," Sissons said. "Discipline has been a big factor, special teams, and just finding a more consistent game throughout the night. We had some lulls in periods and actually got pretty sidetracked in some games by lack of discipline. It's hard to keep momentum when you're doing that all the time."
Nashville led 1-0 after the first period despite being outshot 20-5. Sissons opened the scoring at 4:04 when Driedger stopped him from close range and the rebound bounced in off Sissons' skate.
"We did have a lot of pucks at the net, a lot of loose stuff," Florida coach Joel Quenneville said. "They weren't bouncing our way. Rinne had a good period against us like he did last night. We had some different looks in that second, obviously the finish was great with [Barkov's] line. I thought we played really hard in the third. Very happy [with the] team win. Exciting for the guys. Basically we said this morning, 'Let's move past that, let's get incentivized by it, and now let's go out and have our best game.'"
Barkov tied it 1-1 at 5:58 of the second period when he scored off Verhaeghe's cross-ice pass to the side of the net.
Verhaeghe gave the Panthers a 2-1 lead at 15:31 when he took a return pass from Barkov below the right face-off circle after Rinne was pulled out of position.
"We're working hard," Verhaeghe said. "Last game we were doing a lot of things but just didn't get rewarded. It's nice to finally get rewarded tonight. It's kind of nice, this whole team too, we're clicking. If one guy is not going, other guys are going. It's awesome. And the chemistry with me and [Barkov] too. He's a great player. He's so easy to play with. We click pretty well."
