KEYS TO THE GAME
Don't Get Clunky:The Kings have success when they impose their physicality on their opponent. Vegas fell right into that in their last meeting and they'll need to keep their speed up throughout the game in order to throw Los Angeles off its game.
Stay Focused:This is Vegas' last game before the holiday recess. They need to make sure the focus remains on the game and thoughts of Christmas celebrations don't distract them from the task at hand.
