OPPOSITION UPDATE
December has been unkind to the Ducks as they've posted a 3-6-0 record with just one regulation win. They're tied for the bottom spot in the Pacific Division with 34 points in 37 games.
Jakob Silfverberg (13G, 12A), Rickard Rackell (10G, 15A) and Ryan Getzlaf (10G, 15A) are tied for the top scoring spot on the team with 25 points each. They've provided the bulk of the offense on a team that struggles to score.
KEYS TO THE GAME
Score Early:Anaheim has proved that they struggle to claw back into games after falling behind early. Vegas can cruise to victory with a strong first period.
Shake Off the Rust:The Golden Knights were not pleased with their effort on Monday against Colorado. The three-day gap between games should have provided enough rest to get back to playing a full 60-minute effort.
