KEYS TO THE GAME
Execution: In his press conference on Thursday, Head Coach Bruce Cassidy said, “We just haven’t executed at the level that we needed to. We just have to execute better under pressure from them and execute better when our opportunities arise. That’s going to give us more offense.”
Home Ice: In an important game to stave off elimination, the team needs to take advantage of their home crowd and build off that energy to get a win.
