Akira Schmid made his NHL debut for the Vegas Golden Knights after joining from New Jersey, stepping in during the second period against the Carolina Hurricanes. Despite a 2-5 loss, Schmid shone by stopping all 12 shots he faced. The Knights fought back to reduce the score, but an empty net goal and a final power-play score sealed their fate. Meanwhile, Nashville Predators captain Roman Josi contributed his 10th assist in a narrow 2-3 overtime loss to the Colorado Avalanche, while Kevin Fiala did not record a point in the Los Angeles Kings’ defeat against the Calgary Flames.
