LAST TIME OUT
The Golden Knights took Game 3 with a come-from-behind 5-3 victory over the Avalanche on Sunday at T-Mobile Arena. Colorado built a 3-0 cushion through 20 minutes, capped by a Jack Drury shorthanded breakaway. Vegas responded with five unanswered goals, beginning with a three-goal second period. Mark Stone opened the scoring with a power-play goal, followed by a score from the slot by William Karlsson, then a Keegan Kolesar tip-in. Tomas Hertl put Vegas in front for good midway through the third, beating Scott Wedgewood on the backhand after winning a one-on-one battle at the blue line. Brett Howden sealed it with a long-range empty-netter in the final minute. Carter Hart finished with 32 saves to give Vegas a 3-0 series lead.

KEYS TO THE GAME
Feed Off the Crowd: The Golden Knights look to close out the series on home ice in Game 4, and the energy at The Fortress will be high. In Game 3, the crowd helped spark a three-goal comeback, and Mark Stone highlighted it after the win: "When you can get the fans going, you feed off it. You get the momentum, and that was it." With a sweep on the line, Vegas will look to channel that same energy early and ride it through all three periods.
Dominate the Dot: The Golden Knights enter Game 4 with the second-highest face-off win percentage among the remaining playoff teams at 53.3%, and that edge has been a quiet driver of their 3-0 series lead over Colorado. Controlling the dot in key situations keeps possession out of the opposition's hands and limits opportunities for the Avalanche to sustain O-zone time. Continuing to win draws in the circle will be critical as Vegas looks to put the series to bed.
