KEYS TO THE GAME
Close it Out: Vegas doesn't want to give Vancouver a chance to come back in the series by winning Game 5 and garnering momentum.
Strong Third Period: The Golden Knights had one of their best periods of the series in the third period of Game 4. That pushed them to the win and they'll need to have a similarly strong finish in Game 5 to secure a win.
