A day after beating the Kings 2-0 in double overtime, Golden Knights players credited their conditioning. “Your body is tired, but your mind is still racing,” said forward Reilly Smith. “The crowd was unbelievable.” A season-high gathering of 18,588 at T-Mobile Arena helped inspire the Knights to victory. “This is why we put in so much extra work all summer long,” said defenseman Jon Merrill. “For a game like that.” The series continues with Game 3 at Staples Center on Sunday night.
