LAS VEGAS — The Vegas Golden Knights had their four-game winning streak end with a 3-2 shootout loss to the Nashville Predators at T-Mobile Arena on Friday.

Predators defenseman Roman Josi scored the winning goal in the fourth round.

Rookie forward Trevor Connelly scored in the second round, and Nashville forward Filip Forsberg scored in the third round to extend the shootout.

Goaltender Adin Hill finished with 30 saves and earned a point for the fourth time in his past five starts.

Forward Victor Olofsson scored for the second straight game, and defenseman Rasmus Andersson provided the Knights’ first goal from the blue line in 11 games.

The Knights (13-5-3) eclipsed 40 shots for the second time this season. Nashville goaltender Juuse Saros made 40 saves, but only made two in the final 12 minutes of regulation and overtime.

Predators center Ryan O’Reilly scored twice, including the game-tying goal at 9:44 of the third.

 

Nashville (11-4-5) won its seventh consecutive game.

Olofsson scored for the second straight game on a rebound at 11:19 to tie it 1-1. Olofsson, coming off a three-point game on Wednesday, has five points in four games since returning from injury.

Saros made 18 saves in the first period.

O’Reilly opened the scoring at 7:56 of the first.

The Knights kept the shot volume up in the second period with 15 more at Saros. One more got through with Andersson finishing a pass from Mitch Marner on a four-on-four at 10:48 of the second for a 2-1 lead.

Marner played in his 100th game with the Knights and extended his home point streak to 10 games. He’s the fourth player in team history to have a streak that long at T-Mobile Arena.
