NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Gabriel Vilardi scored the shootout winner and had a goal and an assist in regulation in the Los Angeles Kings' 4-3 victory over the Nashville Predators on Tuesday night.
Matt Roy had two third-period goals and Cal Petersen made 31 saves in regulation and overtime and denied all three Nashville attempts in the shootout to help extend the Kings' winning streak to three.
Cody Glass, Filip Forsberg and Tanner Jeannot scored for Nashville and Juuse Saros made 32 saves. After winning a pair of season-opening games against the San Jose Sharks in Prague, the Predators have dropped three in a row.
Roy sent it to overtime, scoring with 2:08 remaining in the third.
Jeannot scored with 30 seconds remaining in the second, converting the rebound of his initial wraparound attempt, giving Nashville a 3-1 lead.
FIRST GOAL IN GOLD
Glass scored for the first with the Predators. Acquired from Vegas as part of a three-team trade in July 2021, Glass skated in eight games with Nashville last season and did not score. He has dressed in four of five games so far this season. His last NHL goal was March 17, 2021, with Vegas.
IAFALLO OUT
Los Angeles forward Alex Iafallo was placed on injured reserve Tuesday because of a lower-body injury sustained late in an overtime victory in Detroit on Monday night.
WHAT’S NEXT
Kings: At Pittsburgh on Thursday night.
Predators: At Columbus on Thursday night.
