KEYS TO THE GAME
Win Races: The Golden Knights made plays and won races to loose pucks in the third period on Saturday. Head Coach Bruce Cassidy believes this mentality is a way to challenge strong teams and create more offensive pressure and chances.

Defensive Mindset: Cassidy believes that defensive pressure needs to be more consistent throughout the entire 60 minutes, particularly in board play and speed. Cassidy said this is the message he is trying to relay to the defense and saw a stronger defensive push in the final frame against Anaheim on Saturday.
