INSIDE THE ROOMDaniel Carr
On the Golden Knights fan base...
Since I've gotten here, you can see the support in the city with the fans everywhere and how excited they are about the team.
On his comfort level with his new team...
All the guys on the team, the whole staff and the whole organization, everyone's just so professional. Everyone in the locker room is, I think the best word is: open. They make you feel welcome, everyone gets along.
Max Pacioretty
On how the team has treated him since arriving in Vegas...
The reception I've gotten, the way they guys have treated me and talked to me, the management and coaches, it's made it a lot easier to just go out there and play and have fun.
On his experience at training camp...
Normally, camp isn't too much fun, but I'm having a lot of fun here.
Gerard Gallant
On his message to his team...
Play hard. Like I said yesterday, you're getting an opportunity to play in the exhibition games so work hard, play hard and play well.
On Tomas Nosek...
I like Nosek's game. I don't know how many goals he had last year, I'm not a big number guy, but he scored some big goals for us last year. He plays well. I want him to come in and do the same thing he did last year. I like what Nosek brings to our group.
KEYS TO THE GAME
Growth: Eight of the Golden Knights in the lineup have never played in an NHL regular season game. This is where they'll pick up tendencies that will help them get to a regular season lineup.
Building chemistry: Vegas' lineup features a mix of veterans and rookies, many of whom are playing together for the first time. They've had time to get acquainted with each other in camp, but they'll need to show that on the ice.
