KEYS TO THE GAME
End on a High Note: In the final game of the regular season, the Golden Knights have the chance to win the Pacific Division for the fifth time in nine years and extend their point streak to ten games for the first time this season. The group needs to play hard, extend leads, and maintain control of the game to keep their momentum rolling into the postseason.

Believe in Yourself: Since Head Coach John Tortorella took over as bench boss, he has instilled a newfound confidence in the team and continues to stress the importance of mindset in the game. Tortorella wants the Golden Knights to recognize how much talent is in the locker room and use it to their advantage on the ice. The group needs to continue improving their mindset and play with pride as they prepare for the playoffs.
