3. Taking advantage of T-Mobile<\/p>\n
The Golden Knights are 4-2 at\u00a0T-Mobile Arena this postseason, a rare example of success for a home team in a postseason that has seen the road team have the upper hand. Road teams are 38-33 entering Sunday.<\/p>\n
For Vegas, the recipe for success is simple — win two of three at home in this series, and it\u2019ll punch a ticket to the Stanley Cup Final for the third time since entering the\u00a0NHL for the 2017-18 season.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve got to come home and really take advantage of this home ice and dig in,\u201d Hanifin said. \u201cGame 3\u2019s going to be huge.\u201d<\/p>\n

Status report<\/p>\n
Bednar said, \u201cYou\u2019ll have to wait and see\u201d when asked about Makar\u2019s availability; the defenseman has yet to play in this series. \u2026 Vegas will not hold a morning skate. Stone, a forward, has missed five straight games and is also questionable. \u2026 Lauzon, a defenseman, could miss his ninth straight game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"3.
