The Vegas Golden Knights face a critical moment in their playoff series against the Edmonton Oilers, having lost the first two games at home. As they head into Game 3, they find themselves not only down in the series but also missing two key players: Brayden McNabb and Brandon Saad. McNabb's absence, resulting from an injury sustained during a controversial play in Game 2, tests the Knights' roster depth.

Coach Bruce Cassidy has called for a stronger response from his team, urging players to elevate their performance to match the stakes of this pivotal game. With a win crucial to keep their playoff hopes alive, the Knights must adapt quickly and find contributions from other players. Game 3 is scheduled for Saturday night, elevating the urgency of the situation.
