PLAYERS TO WATCH FOR VEGAS
Dylan Coghlan: A two-goal showing made Coghlan the standout player for Vegas in the first game of the tournament.
Paul Cotter: Cotter turned heads with his physical play in the first game of the Anaheim Rookie Faceoff and found opportunities to create offensive chances.
Jonas Rondbjerg: Rondbjerg was part of an effective offensive unit with Lucas Elvenes and Cody Glass on Saturday. He'll look to use his creativity and strong shot to help the Golden Knights win Sunday.
YESTERDAY'S OUTING
After a scoreless first period in the opening game against Colorado, Dylan Coghlan netted the first goal of the tournament on a long slapshot from the blueline. Coghlan scored again in the third period, but the Avalanche put five goals on the board to take a 5-2 win.
