KEYS TO THE GAME PRESENTED BY TOYOTA
Ride the Wave: Vegas had an emotional overtime victory against Colorado on Saturday to preserve first place in the division. While the Kings aren't the same caliber team as the Avalanche, the Golden Knights will look to treat the game the same as Saturday's contest.
Fourth Line Scoring: Vegas has received increased contributions from Tomas Nosek, William Carrier and Ryan Reaves this month as the trio has combined for 13 points (5G, 8A). Pete DeBoer mentioned how depth scoring will be the difference in the postseason, so it's key that the Golden Knights are getting it now.
