KEYS TO THE GAME
Set the Tone Early: The Golden Knights have the opportunity to get ahead of a struggling Flames team who have allowed 29 goals through six games. Vegas’ young talent, speed, and physicality can help establish control early and prevent Calgary from finding their rhythm, as they come off their first win of the season.
Depth, Depth, and More Depth: Following Tuesday’s win, Head Coach Ryan Craig nodded the effort towards the depth throughout the Golden Knights lineup, acknowledging that all four lines, three pairs, and goaltending contributed to the win. Vegas will need everyone to continue creating offensive opportunities in order for the team to be successful on Thursday.
