While the Vegas Golden Knights showed their offensive capabilities with four goals in Game 1, they could've done more. This is especially true in the third period, with the Dallas Stars generating more offensive pressure in the last five minutes.

Getting outshot 30-15 doesn't make matters easier for the Golden Knights. After the second period, the Stars cranked up the forecheck, creating more turnovers and pushing the puck up the ice. Vegas must avoid getting caught in the speed trap and play to their game.
