TAMPA, Fla. — After a sluggish start in their last game against Detroit, the Lightning came out Thursday night focused on establishing themselves early against the Predators.
Their opening was much better, scoring two goals inside the game’s first three minutes. But they allowed the Predators back into the game before pulling out another win late.
Brayden Point scored two goals, including the eventual game-winner 2:14 into the third period, to give the Lightning a 5-2 home win. The Lightning have now won four straight against the Predators and 10 of their last 12 meetings with Nashville.
