"I think we also do a good job checking with our feet, we don't take a lot of those stick penalties.

Vegas did a good job of staying out of the penalty box in Game 3, limiting Edmonton to two power plays.

They only had 2:47 of power-play time in Game 3, so Edmonton cannot rely on the man-advantage for all of its offense. However, they have been outscored 10-4 while playing 5-on-5.
