Florida wasted no time opening the scoring. On the power play, a severe defensive breakdown by the Predators left Sam Reinhart and Bennett alone in front of the Predators’ Juuse Saros (21 saves); Reinhart dropped the puck for Bennett to easily bury 1:23 into the contest.

Forward Steven Stamkos, who signed a four-year deal with Nashville in the offseason, is currently in the longest point-less streak of his career — he has gone nine games without a point for the first time in his 17-year career.

The Florida Panthers’ Aleksander Barkov Jr. and the Nashville Predators’ Roman Josi will be two of the most exciting players to keep an eye on when these squads face off on Tuesday at 8:00 PM ET, at Bridgestone Arena.
