After an embarrassing 6-1 loss against the Los Angeles Kings, the Nashville Predators looked to bounce back against an even more formidable foe, the Vegas Golden Knights. The fireworks started early. Both teams exchanged hits and shots at each other’s nets. Just 79 seconds into the game, Ryan Johansen would beat Chandler Stephenson in a defensive zone faceoff, but the Knights would strike shortly thereafter, with Stephenson and Alex Pietrangelo assisting on the Mattias Janmark goal, making it 1-0. While not a slow start by the definition of the term, starting in the hole once again doesn’t bode well.
