LAST TIME OUT
Vegas notched its third consecutive victory Tuesday night with a 3-2 win against the Minnesota Wild at T-Mobile Arena. After falling behind 1-0, Chandler Stephenson and Shea Theodore found the back of the net during the second period to give the Golden Knights a 2-1 edge. Tomas Nosek padded the lead in the third period, and, despite a late Minnesota goal, Vegas came away with the 3-2 victory.
SEASON SERIES
Only one game separates the last meeting between Vegas and Vancouver as the teams came together at T-Mobile Arena on Sunday. The Golden Knights picked up a 6-3 win in that game fueled by Max Pacioretty's four-point showing (2G, 2A).

OPPOSITION UPDATE
Vancouver enters Thursday's game on a three-game slide. They maintain fifth place in the Pacific Division with 36 points in 34 games. Since falling to the Golden Knights on Sunday, the Canucks dropped a 3-1 decision to the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday.
Forward Elias Pettersson has clicked at a point-per-game pace with 35 points (14G, 21A) in 35 games. J.T. Miller (32 points) and Brock Boeser (31 points) round out the Canucks' top scoring line. Rookie defenseman Quinn Hughes has piled up 26 points (2G, 24A) from the Vancouver blueline.
KEYS TO THE GAME
Do it for the Dads: Vegas (knock on wood) hasn't lost a game with all the dads in attendance. They'll look to keep that streak going in Vancouver.
Sunday All Over Again: The Golden Knights played a complete game Sunday against the Canucks. Scoring came from up and down the lineup and the team played to its identity. A repeat of that performance should spell success north of the border.
