The Vegas Golden Knights have scoring from unusual sources
As mentioned, the Golden Knights have relied on their top line to score a bulk of their goals. That's carried over to the power play, where the team suddenly has a formidable unit for the first time ever. However, one unexpected source has come from players originally on the fourth line.
That includes the aforementioned Brett Howden and Keegan Kolesar. These players have provided timely scoring for the Golden Knights, adding more scoring depth to the forward group.
Kolesar has done an excellent job forechecking and creating scoring opportunities for his linemates. That has led to key goals that has won games for the Golden Knights. Meanwhile, Howden has played more confidently, relying on his speed and newfound handles to create jaw-dropping goals.
In fact, his excellent play has earned him a spot on the second line, where the forward continues to flourish. Both Howden and Kolesar are free agents after this season, which will raise questions on if Kelly McCrimmon can afford the duo. If so, it'll help the lower lines develop a scoring acumen, making them more potent.
