It is a huge game for this organization. They invested in bringing in a cup winning coach, they gave a cup winning third line player a 6 year deal at $5M per, they traded a 1st rounder for a second liner who has won before.
Ultimately they need their 3 highest paid players (Tkachuk, Gaudreau, Markstrom) to be their best players and play to their potential for 3 games if they want to win this series.
