Noah Hanifin scored the game-winner with 1:55 remaining and the Vegas Golden Knights clinched the Pacific Division title with a 5-3 victory over the Nashville Predators on Saturday night in Las Vegas. Hanifin snapped a 15-game goalless drought when he blasted a slap shot from just inside the blue line past the glove hand of Nashville goaltender Justus Annunen to break a 3-3 tie. Ivan Barbashev sealed the win with an empty-netter with 1.7 seconds left. Brett Howden and Nicolas Roy each had a goal and an assist, Reilly Smith had two assists and Alexander Holtz also scored for Vegas (49-22-9, 107 points), which won its fourth division title in eight seasons.
