The Nashville Predators looked to build off a statement win against a division rival as they started their West Coast road trip tonight. The Vegas Golden Knights are once again off to a great season and have been a rough matchup for the Preds in the past; it would be a good test of the Preds’ skill and resilience.
Injuries and unavailability meant the Knights gave goalie Logan Thompson his first NHL start tonight, while the Predators’ roster remained the same as Saturday’s game.
An early turnover meant Saros had to stay sharp as he faced a 2-on-0, and the Knights continued to press the attack after that.
