Golden Knights look to draw the series level in Game 4 as they play the Minnesota Wild in the 4th game of a potential best-of-7 series. The Golden Knights failed to beat the Wild in their last matchup on Thursday, as they lost 5-2 in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Bruce Cassidy mentioned after Game 3, the adjustments that need to be made with the forward line, that the Trio of Mark Stone, Ivan Barbashev, and Jack Eichel have yet to score a single goal yet this series and with the Knights needing some contributions from their top performers in the regular season, they need them to show up going forward.
“I guess where I’d say we’ve got to be better is taking away the goalie’s eyes once you do get your action at the net,” Cassidy said, “Got to get ready for a rebound chance or two.”
