KEYS TO THE GAME
Score First: Theodore said Friday that when the Golden Knights score the game's first goal, they're able to settle into their game easier than when they allow the opening goal. That will be a focus from puck drop for Vegas.
Match the Physicality: Dallas captain Jamie Benn led the physical charge for the Stars in Game 3 which made his team hard to play against. Vegas will have to come out ready to make life difficult on the Stars.
