2. Hertl Provides a Big Body Up Front
Another reason why the Vegas Golden Knights haven't had a successful power play in the past is because of the lack of a big body. It was always tough for a Golden Knight like Stone to cut in front, acting as an upfront presence. But with Hertl, that's changed.
Standing at 6'3" and weighing in at 215 lbs., the center's big presence in front of the net makes Vegas deadlier offensively. Now, the Golden Knights can just use Hertl for redirects or for making the goalie's viewpoint more difficult. No longer will Vegas worry about giving the opposition any easy looks.
