The Vegas Golden Knights are seeking to improve their defensive play to overcome a recent slump, having lost four of their last seven games. Coach Bruce Cassidy emphasized the need to fix defensive lapses, noting a specific eight-minute period in their recent loss to the Predators. Despite challenges, including potential absences of key players like Jack Eichel and Brayden McNabb, the team aims to build on positive moments and regain their winning form, recalling a previous victory against the St. Louis Blues.
