He has 158 goals and 143 assists with the man-advantage in his NHL career, all with Tampa Bay.
"It's great to be in the building and be part of the team to watch big milestones happen like that," coach Jon Cooper said. "I didn't realize he was that close until the other night when he tied St. Louis]. You see the two names he's beside (St. Louis and
[Vincent Lecavalier
) and both their jerseys are up in the rafters, so it's pretty heavy company."
Stamkos, who leads the Lightning with nine points (four goals, five assists) in seven games, said he was honored to be in the company of players such as St. Louis and Lecavalier, who scored 297 power-play points with Tampa Bay.
"Anytime you up there with Marty and Vinny in the record books here in Tampa, that means you've been here a long time and are fortunate to have had a lot of success," Stamkos said. "Hopefully there are more power-play points still to come."
The Lightning were 1-for-4 on the power play.
"The penalties [are] a big thing," Predators coach John Hynes said. "We have to put a stop to it and we're going to have a discussion on it before the next game. When you're coming from behind, if it's one or two [goals], you're still right in it. But when it gets to three, you have to overplay some guys that you think are possibly going to be able to produce. But penalty trouble, that's the biggest issue."
Tolvanen made it 4-1 with a one-timer off a pass from Erik Haula at 2:53 of the third period. It was his first goal since December 1, 2018 against the Chicago Blackhawks.
Granlund scored at 5:41 of the third to make it 4-2.
"In the third period we got those two early goals," Tolvanen said." That was a big goal for me. I think we played well [in the third period]. We got the chances, but just couldn't score."
Gourde scored his second of the game with an empty-net goal at 19:44 for the 5-2 final.
