It was Stamkos\u2019 589th career goal, the fifth-most in League history at the time of the milestone, behind Brett Hull<\/a> (656 goals), Alex Ovechkin<\/a> (653), Mike Gartner<\/a> (636) and Dino Ciccarelli<\/a> (608).<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was nice to see that one go in,\u201d Stamkos said. \u201cMore importantly, just the timing in the game and getting us up two there. It was kind of a 50-50 game, but I thought we played great and shut it down there in the third. I know we gave one up on the [penalty kill] but just a really special night for this group to get a win here at home.\u201d<\/p>\n

Michael Bunting<\/a> had a goal and an assist, and Juuse Saros<\/a> made 27 saves for the Predators (9-13-4), who have won three of their past four. Reid Schaefer<\/a> and Ozzy Wiesblatt<\/a> each scored his first NHL goal.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think there was a lot of special nights for a bunch of different people,\u201d Nashville coach Andrew Brunette said. \u201cThat\u2019s what makes the game great. Obviously to cap it off with a win makes it even better. I think for [Schaefer and Wiesblatt], being around the game as long as I have, we all remember our first ones.\u201d<\/p>\n

Morgan Frost<\/a> scored for the Flames (9-15-4), who have lost three of their past four (1-2-1). Cooley allowed four goals on 16 shots before he was replaced after two periods by Dustin Wolf<\/a>, who made 11 saves.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think we had the jump tonight right from the start,\u201d Calgary forward Mikael Backlund<\/a> said. \u201cI felt like we were slow today, and the result showed it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Schaefer gave the Predators a 1-0 lead at 6:24 of the first period on the rebound of a shot attempt from Fedor Svechkov<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It was Stamkos\u2019 589th career goal, the fifth-most in League history at the time of the milestone, behind…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":322283,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[433],"tags":[49,48,448,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-322282","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-nhl","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/322282","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=322282"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/322282\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/322283"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=322282"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=322282"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=322282"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
