The Vegas Golden Knights host the Nashville Predators for a rematch on Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena, aiming to extend their winning streak. Coming off a dramatic 6-5 overtime victory against the Toronto Maple Leafs, Vegas looks to leverage its strong power play and depth scoring. Key players like Jack Eichel and Mark Stone continue to drive the team's offensive surge.
The Vegas Golden Knights, holding a 23-11-12 record and 58 points in the Pacific Division, face the Nashville Predators (23-20-4, 50 points, fifth in Central) on January 17, 2026, at 7 p.m. local time at T-Mobile Arena. This marks the second meeting this season after Vegas fell 4-2 to Nashville on December 31, 2025, with goals from Mark Stone and Ben Hutton assisted by Pavel Dorofeyev.
In their most recent outing, the Golden Knights staged a thrilling comeback, overcoming two two-goal deficits to defeat the Toronto Maple Leafs 6-5 in overtime on Thursday. Pavel Dorofeyev scored twice on the power play, Keegan Kolesar added his second goal of the season, Mark Stone netted his ninth in 10 games, Tomas Hertl tied the game with seven seconds left in regulation, and Jack Eichel sealed the win with a backhand in overtime. Adin Hill earned the victory in his return from injury.
Vegas boasts a league-high eight third-period comeback wins this season and a 27.3% power-play success rate, ranking fourth in the NHL. Dorofeyev's 13 power-play goals place him second league-wide. Eichel leads scoring with 55 points (17 goals, 38 assists), including a seven-game streak with 14 points. Stone's 10-game point streak features 17 points and a league-best 90% games with points, at 1.53 points per game.
Head coach Bruce Cassidy emphasized the team's unselfish play, calling it the hardest-working group in his four years with Vegas. Eichel, Hertl, and Mitch Marner highlighted the balanced offense firing on all cylinders. A win would mark Vegas's 385th franchise victory and extend their streak to seven games, improving to 13-8-2 all-time against Nashville.
Nashville arrives after a 7-3 road win over Colorado, with Ryan O'Reilly leading at 43 points. Players like Roman Josi, Filip Forsberg, Juuse Saros, and Erik Haula prepare for Olympic duties.
