KEYS TO THE GAMES
Overcome Adversity: In the midst of a four-game stretch without a win, the Golden Knights will look to block out the noise and find a way to pick up two points.
Full 60: Head Coach Bruce Cassidy noted that the team had been chasing games and needing to come back in their recent stretch. An ideal situation for the Golden Knights is a strong start and a complete 60 minutes of hockey to get back in the win column.
