After being on the road for a good amount of November and December, the Golden Knights return home to play 10 of their next 12 games at home. Bruce Cassidy stated that this stretch is a good time to reestablish themselves and get back to the way of play at home that the team started the season with.
The team had a three-day break between their last game and tonight’s matchup. Within that time, Bruce Cassidy said he and his staff got together with the players to see what had been working and get feedback on what wasn’t, in order to continue building strong team chemistry. In doing so, players feel like this team is a second family to them. Ilya Samsonov stated, “I know we're doing hard work and lots of travel, and we miss our families, but because we have a second family here, it's easier.”
