GAMEDAY THREAD — Game 4: San Jose Sharks at Vegas Golden Knights
Come chat with us as the Golden Knights host the Sharks for Game 4.

A win for Vegas would give the Knights a commanding 3-1 lead, whereas a win for the Sharks would make it a brand new series. In the case of a Sharks win, San Jose would re-claim home-ice advantage for what would then be a best-of-three series.
