Defensive Depth
New additions Ville Heinola and Parker Wotherspoon look to establish themselves as regular contributors within a firmly cemented defensive core.
Goalie Strategy
Vegas maintains a three-goalie system which provides essential depth, though trade speculation regarding Connor Hellebuyck continues to linger.
Coach Craig
