With a 3-1 win over the Nashville Predators, Vegas is peaking at the perfect time as they push toward the postseason.
Golden Knights Extend Streak to Six with Win Over Nashville
On Saturday, March 29, the Golden Knights put on a strong performance against the Predators, showcasing their depth and defensive prowess. The game was tightly contested through two periods, but Vegas pulled away in the third with key contributions from their top players.
Reilly Smith played the hero, scoring the game-winning goal early in the third period.
Logan Thompson delivered a stellar performance in net, stopping 28 of 29 shots and keeping Nashville’s offense at bay.
Jonathan Marchessault added an insurance goal, sealing the victory and securing the team’s sixth straight win.
This winning streak matches the longest of the season for Vegas, reaffirming their status as one of the toughest teams in the NHL down the stretch. As they continue their push for the Pacific Division crown, the Golden Knights are proving to be a force to be reckoned with.

Key Matchups on Tuesday, April 1, 2025
The next set of games will have major implications for the Pacific Division standings, with both Vegas and their closest competitors in action:
Vegas Golden Knights vs. Edmonton Oilers
This matchup is a must-watch, as the first-place Golden Knights take on the third-place Oilers in a battle that could further solidify Vegas' lead or help Edmonton gain ground.
The Oilers, led by Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, remain one of the most dangerous offensive teams in the league.
Vegas’ defense, anchored by Alex Pietrangelo and Shea Theodore, will need to be at its best to contain Edmonton’s high-powered attack.
The Golden Knights’ ability to capitalize on scoring chances and control possession will be key to extending their winning streak.
Los Angeles Kings vs. Winnipeg Jets
The Kings will face a tough test against the Jets, who are battling for playoff positioning in the Pacific Division.
A win for the Kings would help them keep pace with Vegas and ahead of Edmonton in the Pacific Division standings.
An explosive offense led by Kevin Fiala and Anže Kopitar will be critical in breaking through Winnipeg’s defensive structure.
The Kings need to tighten up their special teams play, as the Jets boast one of the top power plays in the league.
