KEYS TO THE GAME
Consistent Depth: Hertl stated after Sunday night’s game that Vegas’ goal is to be a four-line team year-round. The Golden Knights aim to have consistent point production and strength from all four lines all season long.

Direct Execution: Head Coach Bruce Cassidy mentioned after Sunday night’s game that the team didn’t execute as much as they had in the first two games despite winning the game, 3-1. A goal for the Golden Knights is to keep a strong pace in their games and execute sooner.
