The Vegas Golden Knights put 42 shots on Juuse Saros on Friday night. Forty of them stayed out.

Roman Josi gets the headline for the shootout winner, but the Nashville Predators do not reach a shootout without their goalie. Nashville was outshot 42-32 and won 3-2 at T-Mobile Arena, its seventh straight victory according to ESPN's recap and box score. Saros stopped 38 of 40 at even strength and both shots he saw while Nashville was shorthanded.

The Predators are 11-4-5. Vegas, which got 30 saves from Adin Hill, takes a point and sits at 13-5-3. Attendance was 16,641.

Ryan O'Reilly Scored Both Predators Goals

Nashville's two regulation goals came off one stick. Ryan O'Reilly opened the scoring in the first period on a feed from Steven Stamkos, then tied it 2-2 midway through the third with his ninth of the season. Josi and Adam Wilsby had the assists on the second one. O'Reilly also won 11 of 21 faceoffs.

Victor Olofsson and Rasmus Andersson scored for Vegas, with Mitch Marner picking up his 21st assist on Andersson's goal. Neither power play converted. Nashville went 0 for 2 and Vegas 0 for 1.

Josi played 31:40, more than half the night, and Wilsby logged 28:31.
