3 Good Things & 2 Bad Things We Learned In Game 1
The Vegas Golden Knights didn't have the prettiest of victories in Game 1. However, they got the job done. What did we learn from Vegas-Dallas in Game 1?
4. Bad Thing: Takeaways
The Dallas Stars beat the Vegas Golden Knights in the takeaway battle, 15-10. That was a huge part of how the Stars hung around all game, turning those takeaways into scoring opportunities.
Granted, Dallas did score on a breakaway earlier in Game 1 and had a prayer answered on the third goal. However, not taking care of the puck will burn most teams when playing against Dallas. With the forward depth the team carries, they can punish Vegas if they make a mental mistake. Therefore, puck control must become better for the Golden Knights.
