December 4, 2025 — Steven Stamkos delivered the decisive blow in overtime as the Nashville Predators escaped Amerant Bank Arena with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over the Florida Panthers. The veteran center’s game-winner at 4:03 of the extra frame capped a resilient performance that saw Nashville erase a third-period deficit to snap a difficult stretch and improve to 10-13-4 on the season.

The Predators found themselves trailing after Carter Verhaeghe opened the scoring late in the first period, converting passes from Sam Bennett and A.J. Greer at the 16:26 mark. Nashville struggled to generate sustained offensive pressure through the first two periods, managing just 12 shots on goal before the third period began.
