NASHVILLE, Tenn. – After a 5-2 loss to the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday night, his team's fifth season opener, Steven Stamkos, the new addition to a summer full of such games for the Nashville Predators, tried to keep everything in perspective.

“We need to watch film and do some work,” he said. “The season is by no means lost.”

If the season is to turn around, Tuesday was a good start as Juuse Saros made 33 saves and the Predators ended their losing streak with a 4-0 victory over the Boston Bruins.

Ryan O'Reilly and Luke Evangelista each had a goal and an assist, while Tommy Novak and Gustav Nyquist also scored for the Predators, who entered the game as the only team in the NHL without a win.

“I tried, I mean I hit a couple of posts and a crossbar so far,” Nyquist said on FanDuel Sports Network after scoring his first goal of the season. “So I tried to do something different.”

The shutout was the 25th of Saros' career, while on the other side of the ice, Jeremy Swayman made 38 saves for Boston. In his only two previous appearances in Nashville, Swayman posted shutouts and stopped all 70 combined shots he faced in those games.

O'Reilly scored the game's first goal with 2:44 left in the opening period, ending Swayman's shutout streak 136-34 at Bridgestone Arena.

With the Predators on the power play, Roman Josi fired a slap shot from above the right faceoff circle and O'Reilly deflected it past Swayman on the short side.
