2. Key players hotting up
As much as the Vegas Golden Knights are hotting up right now, certain players are starting to go on absolute tears too.
Alex Tuch tallied a goal against the New York Islanders for his seventh point in four games (four goals, three assists), while Jonathan Marchessault got on the board for his fourth goal in just two games.
Those players starting to hot up is good news for the Golden Knights who need secondary scoring, and Tuch can certainly drive that from the third line.
Speaking of which, the newly constructed third line featuring Tuch, Cody Glass as the center and William Carrier really seems to be meshing well, and the Knights should certainly stick with that combination for now.
And Marchessault starting to find his scoring boots is good news for Vegas, given the fact that the forward is a big part of that potent top six forward unit.
Marchessault only had five goals before this road trip, so if he can start going on a tear now then that will only help the Knights’ cause down the stretch.
Championships and playoff spots aren’t won in December but they can be lost, so it is important that certain players are now starting to find their groove for this team.
