LAST TIME OUT
The Golden Knights’ late comeback bid came up short in a 4-3 loss to the Ducks in Game 4 at Honda Center on Sunday night. Beckett Sennecke opened the scoring for the Ducks on the man-advantage, then Pavel Dorofeyev tied the game for Vegas less than two minutes later with a power-play tally of his own. Mikael Granlund took back the lead with less than five minutes left in the opening frame to make it 2-1 in favor of the Ducks going into the second. The Golden Knights drew even once again early in the second period with a goal from Brett Howden, but Alex Killorn and Ian Moore notched a goal each to put the Ducks up two early in the final period. Tomas Hertl buried a fortunate bounce off Jackson LaCombe's skate with an extra attacker to bring Vegas within a goal late in the third, but they couldn’t manufacture the equalizer, falling 4-3 in Game 4.

KEYS TO THE GAME
Forecheck and Sustain: The Golden Knights are most dangerous when they establish a relentless forecheck and keep their opponent pinned in their own zone. After a Game 4 where neither team effectively dictated tempo, Vegas needs to reassert that identity at home, winning board battles, forcing turnovers, and converting sustained O-zone pressure into an insurmountable deficit for the Ducks.
Command the Fortress: Splitting in Anaheim gives Vegas home-ice advantage back, and Game 5 at T-Mobile Arena is a pivotal chance to make it count. The Golden Knights need to feed off the crowd early, set the tone in the first period, and turn the building into an obstacle for the Ducks.
