How should Golden Knights adjust to stay alive in Stanley Cup Final?

The Vegas Golden Knights have their backs against the wall in the Stanley Cup Final.

For the first time in the series, the Golden Knights trail after the Carolina Hurricanes earned a 4-2 win on home ice in Game 5 to take a 3-2 series lead and set up a do-or-die scenario for Vegas on home ice in Sunday’s Game 6.

The road back is looking difficult for the Knights, who will most likely have to battle back without their most impactful two-way center in William Karlsson, who exited Game 5 and did not return.

On Friday’s episode of Daily Faceoff LIVE, host Tyler Yaremchuk discussed what the Golden Knights will have to do to send the series back to Raleigh for a Game 7.

Tyler Yaremchuk: What kind of adjustments do they have to make if they want to force a seventh game? Which, John Tortorella is very confident that they will. No William Karlsson for the remainder of this series. That leaves a big hole at the top of their lineup. Torts will have to do something about that. He’s not changing goalies. He was admant about that, but Carter Hart’s the first goalie in Stanley Cup Final history to allow four or more goals in each of the first five games of the Stanley Cup Final. Goaltending needs to be better. The blue line was so good at retrieving pucks and getting pucks out. That’s not happening now; it’s putting more stress on Hart. It’s allowing Carolina these second and third opportunities. The list is long of things that Vegas is going to have to fix, and fix in a hurry, if they do not want to see the Stanley Cup handed out at T-Mobile Arena on Sunday night.
