KEYS TO THE GAME
Fast Start:The Golden Knights allowed two quick goals against the Oilers on Saturday and it forced them to play from behind for the entire game. Getting out to a strong start is key against the Stars who can create quick-strike offense themselves.
Reverse Retro:For whatever reason, success hasn't come at a high rate for the Golden Knights while wearing their Reverse Retro uniforms. Vegas has gone 2-4-0 in the sweaters. Say what you will about superstitions and luck, celebrating a win in the alternate kit will be a welcome sight.
