KEYS TO THE GAME
Back to Our Roots: Following the team's loss in the final game of the road trip, Head Coach Bruce Cassidy discussed how the players lost some focus on their puck decisions. Cassidy said he is confident the team can be a strong road team. Coming back home provides an opportunity for the Golden Knights to refocus on the finer details of their game before heading out on their next road trip.
Never Be Complacent: Tanner Pearson mentioned that the team sometimes becomes complacent when heading into the second period with a lead. He emphasized that the key to success is to continue playing with intensity and not ease off the gas.
