LAST TIME OUT
The Golden Knights cruised to a dominant 6-2 win in Game 3 on Friday night at Honda Center behind a four-point game (3G, 1A) and first career playoff hat trick from Mitch Marner. Shea Theodore got Vegas on the board early, scoring just over a minute into the contest and sparking a five-goal run for the Golden Knights. Brayden McNabb added to the lead with the team’s third shorthanded goal of the playoffs, then Marner netted a power-play goal with five seconds remaining in the opening frame. Marner scored two more in the second period, giving Vegas a 5-0 lead heading into the third. Beckett Sennecke and Chris Kreider found the net for Anaheim, but Brett Howden scored an empty netter with just under two minutes left, sealing the 6-2 win for the Golden Knights.

KEYS TO THE GAME
Maintain the Momentum: The Golden Knights delivered one of their most complete performances of the postseason in Game 3, controlling the game from the opening minute and never allowing Anaheim to gain a foothold. That kind of dominant effort can be difficult to sustain, and the Ducks will respond with urgency in an important Game 4 on home ice. Vegas will need to match that desperation early, establish their forecheck, and avoid a slow start that could give their opponents life in this series. Getting on the board first, as Shea Theodore demonstrated Friday, sets the tone and forces Anaheim onto their heels.
Ride the Special Teams: The Golden Knights' special teams were a difference-maker in Game 3, producing a shorthanded goal from Brayden McNabb and a power-play tally from Mitch Marner in the same period. Vegas enters Game 4 with the NHL's top penalty kill in the playoffs and a power play that is finding its rhythm at the right time. Continuing to win the special teams battle would put enormous pressure on a Ducks team that cannot afford to fall behind early. Staying out of the box when possible and capitalizing when opportunities arise could put the Golden Knights in firm command of the series with a 3-1 lead.
