Ryan O'Reilly scored twice in regulation for Nashville, while goaltender Juuse Saros turned aside 40 shots to preserve the victory. The Predators improved their road winning streak to four games.

Vegas had its four-game winning streak snapped but extended its point streak to six games. Victor Olofsson and Rasmus Andersson scored for the Golden Knights, and Adin Hill stopped 30 shots.

In the shootout, Trevor Connelly gave Vegas an early advantage, but Filip Forsberg kept Nashville alive with a third-round goal. After Saros denied Jack Eichel, Josi converted to complete the comeback. Braeden Bowman and Mitch Marner also missed for Vegas, while Steven Stamkos and O'Reilly were unsuccessful for Nashville.

Olofsson nearly ended the game in overtime, but his shot rang off the post.

Olofsson continued his productive return from injury with his sixth goal in eight appearances this season. He had a goal and two assists in Wednesday's 5-3 victory over Utah and entered Friday with four points in three games since returning Nov. 5 at Detroit. Andersson scored his third goal of the season, while O'Reilly increased his total to nine.

Nashville entered the game with strong goaltending throughout its winning streak. Saros and Justus Annunen combined for a 1.63 goals-against average and .942 save percentage over the previous six victories, allowing just 10 goals. Saros was named the NHL's third star of the week on Monday after stopping 53 of 55 shots across two wins.

The Predators also entered the night with the NHL's second-ranked penalty kill, erasing 89.5% of opponents' power plays, and stopped Vegas on its only power-play opportunity.

The win solidifies Nashville's position as one of the league's hottest teams and provides momentum as the season progresses. The Predators will look to extend their streak in their next matchup.
