The Nashville Predators rode a three-goal first period to a 3-1 victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday night.

With the win, the Predators reached the 100-point mark for the sixth time in franchise history. They also passed the Tampa Bay Lightning - who fell to the Ottawa Senators 7-4 on Tuesday - to take over first place in the overall standings.

The Lightning have 100 points on the season as well, but they've played one more game than the Predators.

This marks the fewest games (69) it has taken the Predators to reach 100 points in a season, beating the mark set by the club during the 2006-07 campaign when it reached the milestone in the 73rd game.
