What happened: Andre Lee got one back with VGK ahead 2-1 in preseason action. The goal trimmed a two-goal hole after VGK struck twice late in the opening period.

Why it matters: Preseason scoring updates still matter for players pushing for early-season roles and extra exhibition minutes. Cutting the margin also keeps the rest of the night relevant instead of turning the game into a one-sided tuneup.

What to watch: Watch whether the one-goal margin holds into the next break and whether Lee's goal changes the flow the rest of the way.
