Nashville, playing the middle game of a three-game Western road trip that began with a 7-4 loss at Los Angeles on Saturday, jumped out to a 1-0 lead at the 2:14 mark of the first period. Turris deflected a shot from the right point by Ellis past Fleury for his second goal of the season.

Nashville rebounded to take a 4-2 lead with three goals in the first 6:52 of the second period, the first time this season the Golden Knights allowed three goals in a period this season.

Just 44 seconds into the middle period, Sissons tied it when he backhanded a rebound in off the skate of Deryk Engelland for his second goal of the season. Jarnkrok followed with his first goal of the season, one-timing a feed from Viktor Arvidsson from the right dot at 5:08.

Forsberg then took advantage of a turnover by Fleury, who was trying to clear the puck behind his own net. Forsberg intercepted the puck near the boards and then quickly slid it inside the left post past a scrambling Fleury for his 150th career goal in his 401st game.

Bonino then made it 5-2 early in the third period with a power-play goal. He deflected Turris' blast from the left point under the crossbar, snapping a streak of 14 successful penalty kills by Vegas. It also marked the fifth straight game that the Predators scored on the power play.
