First period collapse sends VGK to 5th loss in six games

The Golden Knights led 2-0 after nine minutes Wednesday, but the next five minutes belonged to the Nashville Predators.  The Preds scored three times over the next five minutes enroute to a 4-2 victory over VGK.  The Golden Knights have dropped five of their last six games. Bruce Cassidy was miffed postgame about all the long-range goals VGK has given up the past few games.  He said the team isn't boxing out or getting in passing lanes.  VGK lost defenseman Brayden McNabb to an injury on a collision with the Predators Michael Bunting.  Keegan Kolasar took exception to the hit, which looked unintentional.  He crosschecked Bunting several times in the back. Three VGK players were named to tam Canada, Mitch Marner, Shea Theodore and Mark Stone.   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
