    THE Nashville Predators lost 3-2 to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Monday thanks to an overtime goal from Lightning forward Nick Paul.

    This defeat spoiled an eventful return to the Amalie Arena for Steven Stamkoswho finished with a season-high two assists on six shots.

    After falling behind 2-0 to the Lightning, the Predators fought back in the second with goals from Ryan O’Reilly and Gustav Nyquist. In the third period, the Predators had several chances to take the lead, but were denied by Tampa goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy, who made 35 saves in the game.

    Paul’s overtime goal came 3:22 into overtime, earning Tampa’s sixth victory of the season.

    Nashville (3-5-1) now has two days off before facing Edmonton at Bridgestone Arena on Thursday. Tampa (6-3-0) hits the road to face Colorado on Wednesday.

    Steven Stamkos collects his second assist on Gustav Nyquist’s equalizing goal

    The Predators and Lightning are tied 2-2 after two periods and Stamkos assisted on both Nashville goals.

    After contributing to O’Reilly’s power play goal to make it 2-1, Stamkos found Gustav Nyquist skating toward the Tampa net late in the second.

    Nyquist fired a quick shot past Lightning goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy to tie the score.

    The Predators’ power play is showing signs of life: At 10:19 of the second period, Ryan O’Reilly scored a rebound to bring Nashville within one point.

    The initial shot came from Jonathan Marchessault and O’Reilly was right in front of the Tampa net, ready to take advantage of the powerful shot.

    Steven Stamkos was also credited with an assist, his first against the Lightning.

    Earlier, Nikita Kucherov seemingly scored to make it 3-0, but the Predators challenged the play for offside. Upon review, Kucherov drove the puck into the zone, placing it offside and taking the goal off the board.

    After Stamkos was honored with a video tribute on the video board, Lightning forward Brayden Point put the home team up 1-0 with a dazzling goal.

    Collecting the puck along the boards, Point carried the puck to Roman Josi, then went around him to score.

    Then, with just 37 seconds left in the first, Point found Mitchell Chaffee on a layup pass. Chaffee then slipped past the Predators defense for an open shot on Saros, making it 2-0 for the Lightning.
