The Nashville Predators have won four games in their first 10. That's slightly better than last season, but the offense is also painful to watch.

The Nashville Predators suffered their second consecutive loss on Tuesday as they fell to the Tampa Bay Lightning, 5-2, at Bridgestone Arena.

Zemgus Girgensons scored two goals to lead the Tampa Bay Lightning to a 5-2 victory over the Nashville Predators.

Charles-Edouard D'Astous gave the Lightning a 3-1 lead at 7:58 on a 3-on-2 rush. He received a pass from Brayden Point and beat Saros with a wrist shot from the slot for his first NHL goal in his third game.

Mikko Rantanen's power play goal clinched a 3-2 win for Dallas, but a missed call on Tyler Seguin had the Nashville Predators scratching their heads.

Tampa Bay's Zemgus Girgensons scored his first two goals of the season, and Andrei Vasilevskiy beat the Nashville Predators for a 10th straight time as the Lightning won 5-2 on the road Tuesday.

The Lightning held the 3-1 lead until the closing minutes. During another four-on-four, the Preds pulled Saros for a five-on-four advantage. When the minor penalties expired on J.J. Moser and Filip Forsberg, they both joined the play. A rebound came to Forsberg at the bottom of the right circle, and he snapped it in at 17:54.

Goals could be at a premium on Tuesday when the Nashville Predators host the Tampa Bay Lightning to conclude a five-game homestand.

The Tampa Bay Lightning are staying red-hot, as they defeated the Nashville Predators by a 5-2 final score on Oct. 28. With this, the Lightning have improved to a 4-4-2 record on the season and have won each of their last three games.
