The Nashville Predators defeated the Vegas Golden Knights 5-3 in a closely contested game. The Golden Knights' attempt at a late-game rally was highlighted by Michael Amadio's goal, bringing the score to 4-3 with just 1:49 to go in the third period. However, Gustav Nyquist sealed the victory for the Predators with an empty-net goal, making the final score 5-3. This loss marks the Golden Knights' third consecutive defeat at home, during which they have conceded a total of 13 goals. The game also raised concerns over the health of the Golden Knights' captain, Mark Stone, who missed the third period due to an upper-body injury. The Golden Knights have lost 3 of the last 4 games, with their only win coming against the Sharks.

Preds beat the Golden Knights in mysterious ways! Kevin Lankinen = the sweetest thing in net. No goals from the top line, but magnificent depth scoring pulls through. Still haven't found the playoff spot they're looking for, for now. Barry Trotz will sleep like a baby tonight.

Final: Predators 5, Golden Knights 3 Third straight loss at home. 13 goals allowed in that run.
Final, 5-3 Nashville. The result was just given how Vegas played for the majority of the night, however, the more pressing issue is the health of captain Mark Stone, who missed the third period with an upper-body injury.

Yet another 6-on-5 disaster. Empty net goal #9 against while VGK are still waiting for their first game-tying goal with the goalie on the bench.
Hill to the bench for the extra attacker. Gustav Nyquist wins a battle, threads the needle from his own zone, and ices the game. 5-3 Preds.

4-3 now. Golden Knights get within one with less than 3 minutes left. Butt-clenching time.
VGK come out of the TV timeout with one thing on the mind. Get pucks to the net. A rebound lands directly on Amadio's stick and VGK have a real chance to rescue this now.
