Svechkov scored his first of the season at 10:32 of the first, briefly tying the game before Boqvist gave Florida a 3-2 lead 59 seconds later.

Bennett made it 4-2 with 4:16 left in the first when an attempted clear by Svechkov hit his skate and past a surprised Saros.

Forsling’s goal at 1:24 of the second ended the night for Saros, who stopped 11 of the 16 shots he faced.

Blankenburg's power-play goal at 2:11 of the third drew Nashville to within two, but Greer restored the three-goal lead at 4:52.
