KEYS TO THE GAME
Discipline: The Golden Knights played an extremely responsible game against the Oilers on Monday night. Edmonton only had two power plays and didn't capitalize on either of them. Vegas matches up well with Edmonton when they play 5-on-5, so continuing to not take careless penalties is crucial to help win the game.

Goaltending: Vegas saw an unfortunate injury occur to Laurent Brossoit who went down in the first period of Game 3. Adin Hill stepped in and stopped all 24 shots he faced. If Hill can continue to be solid in net, he will give the Golden Knights a real chance to win. The Golden Knights leaned on all of their goalies in the regular season, so it's no surprise that any netminder can step in and get the job done.
