Two down, three to go.
Five different Predators skaters scored and Kevin Lankinen turned away 23 shots as Nashville defeated the Vegas Golden Knights, 5-3, at T-Mobile Arena on Tuesday.
“I felt great about our game,” Predators Head Coach Andrew Brunette said. “Even at the end. Obviously, we unfortunately put ourselves in a tougher position and the way we played and the way we dictated the game, to get in that position probably wasn’t ideal. But, I thought it was a really solid 60-minute effort and I thought we did a lot of really good things.”
“We played a really good game,” Predators Captain Roman Josi said. “I thought for 60 minutes we played really well. Obviously, they got some momentum but it's also a good team over there. So, I thought it was a complete effort and I think we can definitely be happy about the way we played.”
The result moves Nashville to 29-25-2 on the campaign and 15-10-2 on the road.
