The Golden Knights and Stars have butted heads in the postseason in each of the last two seasons. Vegas and Dallas have developed a bit of a rivalry over the last few seasons and Friday's game will have lots of energy.
Head coach Bruce Cassidy discussed tweaking the lines following Wednesday’s win. Cassidy stated how a change of scenery can be good for the players. After a few games with limited offensive production and Olofsson’s return, Cassidy shuffled the lines to test new chemistry. The adjustments paid off and will be important to carry that spark into a rivalry game against Dallas.
A VGK victory would make the 330th win in franchise history. It would also give the Knights a 11-3-0 record at home this season.
