The Vegas Golden Knights' Game 5 win against the Edmonton Oilers was a team effort that showcased the organizational prowess of the team's hockey operations staff. President of Hockey Operations George McPhee and General Manager Kelly McCrimmon have built one of the league's best staffs, which has led to 45 playoff wins since the team's inception in 2017. The team's depth players, such as Adin Hill, Ben Hutton, and Teddy Blueger, played a role in the win alongside stars like Mark Stone, Jack Eichel, and Jonathan Marchessault. The team's leadership group is expected to prepare mentally for Game 6, and defenseman Alex Pietrangelo praised Hutton's performance in Game 5.
