KEYS TO THE GAME
Stick Together: After Tuesday's game in Seattle that featured multiple fights and post-whistle roughness, it was echoed through the locker room the importance of sticking together in those heated games and taking care of business when needed. Through the upcoming two-game homestand, the Golden Knights will look to continue this trend and further elevate their game.
Cash in on Chances: Tomas Hertl and Jack Eichel emphasized the need to continue finding opportunities on the man advance and capitalizing on the opposing team’s mistakes. The Golden Knights are third in the league in power-play chances with 16, so turning those into goals will be important for their offensive output.
