KEYS TO THE GAME
From the jump: Before the game against Carolina, Brett Howden stated that the team needed to be prepared from the puck drop. Vegas didn’t have the bounce it wanted against the Hurricanes, but will look to start strong against the Ducks.

Renowned resilience: Head Coach Bruce Cassidy said resilience is especially important in road games when the crowd isn’t behind his team. Digging deep against a hungry Anaheim team will be key for Vegas on Wednesday.
