The Golden Knights should continue to find ways to score throughout the lineup, especially with Arizona scoring the 30th least goals in the league (2.54 on average).
Road warriors: The Golden Knights have league-best 15-3-2 road record this season. This road trip can serve as a time for team bonding so the team can return to Vegas with good vibes, which in turn could lead to more wins on home ice.
