Steven Stamkos showcased his prowess with two goals and an assist, leading the Nashville Predators to a 5-3 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights. Nashville took an impressive 4-0 lead before fending off a late surge from Vegas, who struggled to find their rhythm despite a strong second half.

Nashville's Filip Forsberg contributed with a goal and an assist, while Justus Annunen was solid in net, making 19 saves. Pavel Dorofeyev had a standout performance for Vegas, netting his first career hat trick, marking him as the team's leading scorer.

As fantasy leagues gear up for the upcoming week, several players are emerging as strong waiver wire candidates. Patrick Kane of the Detroit Red Wings has seen a resurgence following a coaching change, averaging an impressive 3.49 fantasy points per game (FPPG) recently. Similarly, Matthew Knies from the Toronto Maple Leafs is capitalizing on the return of star Auston Matthews, showcasing his scoring ability. Meanwhile, Ryan O’Reilly of the Nashville Predators has rebounded from injury, making him a valuable asset.

On the defensive front, Jackson LaCombe of the Anaheim Ducks is making waves as a surprising fantasy contributor, while Ryan Lindgren of the New York Rangers is stepping up in Jacob Trouba's absence. In goal, Cam Talbot of the Detroit Red Wings and rookie Jakub Dobes of the Montreal Canadiens are notable options.

In a tightly contested match, the New York Rangers edged out the Vegas Golden Knights 2-1, thanks to a late goal from Adam Edstrom. This victory marks the Rangers' second consecutive win, improving their record to 4-1-1 after a rough stretch of games. Vincent Trocheck also contributed with a power-play goal, while Igor Shesterkin stood strong in net, making 29 saves.

The Golden Knights struggled offensively, with Mark Stone scoring their only goal on the power play. Despite Ivan Barbashev's return from injury and his immediate offensive attempt, Vegas has now lost back-to-back games for the first time in over a month.

In a commanding performance, the Vegas Golden Knights defeated the Philadelphia Flyers 5-2, showcasing a dominant second period where they scored three goals. Mark Stone, Nicolas Hague, and Pavel Dorofeyev were pivotal, each contributing to the scoring surge that turned the game in Vegas' favor. Alexander Holtz and Tanner Pearson also added goals, as the Golden Knights extended their impressive run, winning 11 of their last 13 games.

The Flyers struggled, with Tyson Foester and Travis Konecny managing to score but ultimately falling short. Rookie goalie Aleksei Kolosov faced challenges, particularly in the second period, where he allowed three goals, leading to a disappointing loss for Philadelphia.

Brett Howden netted his 15th goal of the season, and Ilya Samsonov made 31 saves as the Vegas Golden Knights secured a 3-0 victory against the Calgary Flames on Sunday night. Howden's goal came from a deflection off a shot by Alex Pietrangelo, marking his fourth goal in the last five games, tying him with Ivan Barbashev for the team lead.

In addition to Howden, Victor Olofsson and Tanner Pearson also contributed goals for the Golden Knights, who have now achieved two shutouts against Calgary this season, with a previous 5-0 win on October 28. Calgary's Dan Vladar faced a barrage, making 34 saves but ultimately could not prevent the loss.

The Golden Knights are on a six-game winning streak, the longest current run in the NHL, and have improved their record to 25-8-3, including an impressive 13-2-1 against Pacific Division rivals. Conversely, the Flames fell to 17-12-7, struggling with a 1-3-0 record in the second game of back-to-back matchups. A critical moment in the game occurred when the Golden Knights successfully killed off a Calgary power play, including a challenging 5-on-3 situation.

Jack Eichel reached a milestone, playing in his 200th game as a Golden Knight, while head coach Bruce Cassidy also marked his 200th game with the franchise. Looking ahead, Calgary will face the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday, while Vegas prepares to host the Montreal Canadiens.
