Stamkos Scores Twice as Predators Beat Golden Knights 4-1

Special-teams dominance propelled Nashville into the Western Conference wild-card race.

Overview

  • Steven Stamkos posted two goals and an assist, with his second moving him past Brendan Shanahan into seventh all-time with 238 career power-play goals.
  • Nashville struck twice on the power play and added a shorthanded goal in the second period to build an insurmountable lead.
  • Justus Annunen made 39 saves with Juuse Saros still sidelined by a lower-body issue.
  • Vegas outshot Nashville 40-20 and finally ended a 180:19 scoring drought on Shea Theodore’s power-play goal, yet fell for the third straight game and has been outscored 10-1 in that span.
  • The win pushed the Predators into the West’s final wild-card spot, with Vegas heading to Dallas on Sunday and Nashville visiting Chicago.
