The Vegas Golden Knights will be without two veteran players in Brayden McNabb and Brandon Saad, but will welcome back two youngsters by way of Pavel Dorofeyev and Kaedan Korczak.

McNabb and Saad are considered day-to-day after sustaining injuries in a 5-4 overtime loss in Game 2. McNabb's injury has come with a lot of controversy. No call was made on the infraction, and instead of the Golden Knights heading onto the power play, Leon Draisaitl ended the game 17 seconds later. 

Saad's injury is undisclosed at the moment, and he'll be replaced by Dorofeyev, who will make his series debut after suffering an injury against the Minnesota Wild in Game 5.

Replacing McNabb will be Korczak, who will return to the lineup after playing in Game 1. In Game 1, the 24-year-old played 13:04 of ice time, throwing one hit and blocking one shot. 

The Oilers will be making one lineup change as well. Calvin Pickard was announced as day-to-day and will be replaced in net by Stuart Skinner. Skinner has recorded an .810 SV% and a 6.11 GAA in two playoff games this season. 

The Golden Knights are in massive need of a win, looking to avoid going down 3-0 in the series. The Golden Knights lost both games at home, but recent memory provides evidence that the Golden Knights have what it takes to win back-to-back road games. Just last season, the Golden Knights beat the Dallas Stars in Games 1 and 2 on the road. 

Going down 3-0 all but wraps up the series, meaning today's game is virtually a must-win.
