We all knew what the Vegas Golden Knights were up against when they faced off against the Washington Capitals in the Stanley Cup Final. The expansion franchise acknowledged the fact that the Caps are their toughest test. However, the Golden Knights are down three games to one with their backs against the wall in game five.
Obviously, the Caps did not make any changes as long as they keep winning, so Head Coach Barry Trotz is sticking with the same lineup. Naturally, Braden Holtby gets the start in net for Washington.
As for Vegas, Head Coach Gerard Gallant made two changes to the lineup.
