(KTNV) — The Vegas Golden Knights extended their winning streak to six games with a 3-1 victory over the Nashville Predators on Saturday.
The Predators got on the board first with a goal in the second period, but their lead would be short-lived.
Jack Eichel scored his 99th goal as a Vegas Golden Knight to tie the game, assisted by Shea Theodore and Mark Stone.
Nashville almost took the lead again, but their answering goal was overturned for goal interference.
Newly re-acquired winger Reilly Smith broke a 1-1 tie in the final period, putting the score at 2-1 for the VGK.
Just to make sure there was no coming back for the Predators, Brett Howden brought the score to 3-1 with just 45 seconds left to play.
There are just 10 games left in the regular season — four of which the Knights will play on home ice. They'll be back at T-Mobile Arena on Tuesday against Edmonton.
