Three members of the original Vegas Golden Knights each chipped in a goal during their team’s Game 1 victory against the Florida Panthers, and now they’re chipping in caution in their approach.
After all, the expansion Golden Knights won Game 1 of the 2018 Stanley Cup Final, then lost four in a row and the series against the Washington Capitals.
“I think we’re a little bit more humble in the situation,” said forward Jonathan Marchessault, who scored his 10th goal in his last 11 games during the 5-2 victory. “We know it doesn’t mean anything winning one game in one series. For us, the focus is on the next game and that’s how we’re going to approach every game.”
The Panthers rebounded in the first round after losing Game 1 against the Boston Bruins and reeled off eight consecutive road wins before Saturday’s loss. They’re trying to even the series before it shifts to Sunrise, Florida, for Games 3 and 4.
