Stamkos passes Robitaille as Predators beat Blues 3–1

Steven Stamkos broke a tie with Luc Robitaille for fifth on the NHL’s career power-play goals list Saturday, scoring his 248th in the Nashville Predators’ 3–1 win over the St. Louis Blues at Bridgestone Arena. Nashville has won four straight.

St. Louis took the lead on a power-play goal from Jimmy Snuggerud, but Stamkos tied it at 16:07 of the first period. He had drawn even with Robitaille two days earlier when he scored the overtime winner against Colorado.

Ross Colton put Nashville ahead at 9:02 of the second period. Stamkos added an assist on Nick Perbix’s empty-net goal, and Roman Josi set up both the tying and go-ahead goals.
