Malcolm Subban made 41 saves and then turned aside six skaters in the shootout as the Vegas Golden Knights defeated the Nashville Predators by a 4-3 final on Friday night at Bridgestone Arena.
It's a rare loss at home for the Preds - just their third of the season - in their first-ever meeting with Vegas, but on a night that saw the home team come back in the third period to earn a point in the standings, there was still reason stay positive following the contest.
"I really liked our game," Nashville Head Coach Peter Laviolette said. "I liked the way we fought back, and I thought we were doing a lot of good things… I think for the most part, I thought we played a pretty solid, 60-minute game."
