For the Vegas Golden Knights, they've had a script for the past three games (I know this sounds like an NFL conspiracy theory, but bear with me). It goes a little something like this:
The first period: Vegas scores between one and three goals and gets off to a good start. Vegas is either leading or tied.
The second period: The opponent scores a goal or neither team scores at all. Vegas has a smaller lead or the game is tied.
The third period: The opponent scores again, even scoring up to three goals. The Golden Knights barely escape or lose the game altogether.
While this is just a microtrend for the black and gold, it's something that's become problematic. With the Vegas Golden Knights, there needs to be a change. How can the Knights change this trend? What adjustments must be made?
