Nylander scored the game's first goal with 6:38 remaining in the opening period, with a one-timer from the left faceoff dot on a Toronto power play. He has at least one point in each of Toronto's eight games this season, becoming the fourth Maple Leafs player to do so.
O'Reilly answered with a power-play goal of his own with 4:55 to go.
Toronto regained the lead with 7:14 left in the second on Giordano's first goal of the season. The goal came after a prolonged shift in the Nashville zone, aided by a broken Predators stick and the long distance from the bench in the middle period.
O'Reilly struck again on the power play with 4:52 remaining in the second for his first two-goal game since signing with Nashville as a free agent in the offseason after a brief stint with Toronto last year, following his trade there from St. Louis.
Nashville has scored two power-play goals in three of their last four games.
Saros remains one of two NHL goalies to start every game for their team this season, along with Colorado's Alexandar Georgiev.
