Successful penalty kill in second provides momentum shift in Preds 4-1 win over Vegas

The Nashville Predators allowed a power play goal in the first period, but then shut the Vegas Golden Knights down from the second period on.

Ryan Hartman scored two goals, both assisted by Kevin Fiala. Calle Jarnkrok notched the security goal, and Viktor Arvidsson was awarded an empty net goal when he drew a penalty shot against an empty net.

Colton Sissons played a tremendous role in penalty killing Tuesday night. The penalty kill in the second period helped spurn a momentum shift for the team according to head coach Peter Laviolette.
