Stephen R. Sylvanie-Imagn Images Despite playing pockets of good hockey in the 10 games since the Olympic Break, the Vegas Golden Knights have had very little to show for it. They’ve struggled to put the puck in the back of the net and demonstrated an inability to stop the bleeding.
But on Saturday, the Golden Knights had no difficulty imposing their will on a weaker opponent. In the first period, they exploded for three goals in 3:27 and never looked back en route to a 4-0 win. “The power play was huge,” said Kaedan Korczak following the win.
“Pav is hot right now, so you just have to find him. Playing with the lead is much easier than chasing it. ” For the third game in a row, the Golden Knights played well right out of the gate.
They outshot the Blackhawks 12-6 in the first period and generated 11 scoring chances while holding Chicago to five. The Golden Knights broke the ice on the power play at 8:33 in the first. Mark Stone threaded a pass to Mitch Marner at the point from below the goal line, and Marner touch-passed it to Pavel Dorofeyev at the right dot.
