Stamkos is now one goal away from tying Bobby Hull for 19th all-time. Joe Sakic and Jarome Iginla, tied for 17th place with 625 goals, are within Stamkos' sights this season.
The 35-year-old is up to 27 goals this season following a slow start to the campaign in which he collected just two points in his first 14 games.
The win tied a Predators franchise record for largest comeback victory.
