OPPOSITION UPDATE
The Coyotes haven't had the start they were hoping for in 2019-20. Arizona dropped a 2-1 decision to the Anaheim Ducks to start the year before getting shutout by the Bruins in their own home opener, 1-0. Derek Stepan has the team's only score this season for a team that will be hungry to entertain its home fans Thursday night.
A VEGAS VICTORY WOULD...
- Mark the 97th win in franchise history
- Give Vegas its second 3-1-0 start in team history
- Improve the Golden Knights' all-time record at Gila River Arena to 5-0-0
LAST TIME OUT
It was a hot start to Tuesday's game for the Golden Knights as they skated out to a quick 2-0 lead on goals from Mark Stone and Reilly Smith. The Bruins fought back to tie the game before the end of the first period and then proceeded to take a two-goal lead of their own early in the second frame. A late goal from Max Pacioretty wasn't even for Vegas as Boston skated away with a 4-3 victory.
KEYS TO THE GAME
High Intensity: Multiple players cited a lapse in intensity after Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Bruins. Starting strong is key, but the ability to maintain that wave of energy can be the difference between wins and losses.
Smart Power Plays: Arizona finished second in the NHL in shorthanded goals last season (16). The Coyotes are willing to take risks on the penalty kill so the Golden Knights will look to exploit any openings given to them.
