They said it

"We're looking forward to it. It's going to be a tough game. L.A. had a real good game [Saturday]. They'll be on a high [Sunday]." -- Golden Knights coach Gerard Gallant
"It's much more aggressive. We're turning over way more pucks. I don't want to compare it to years past cause it's a completely different team, different system, everything, but it allows our forwards to get going with the puck in the right way." -- Kings forward Dustin Brown on forechecking plan under coach Todd McLellan
