LAS VEGAS -- As the Vegas Golden Knights grind away in their thrilling second round series against the Colorado Avalanche, the team's most productive line has been the second line.
Jonathan Marchessault, William Karlsson and Reilly Smith have scored eight goals in five games against Colorado. Coach Peter DeBoer called the trio "the identity of this franchise." Fans have started calling them the "Misfit Line," an ode to Vegas' inaugural season when the entire team called itself the "Golden Misfits."
"Obviously Flower [Marc-Andre Fleury] has been the backbone of our team since the beginning of our franchise, and we have a few other players who have been here since the start," Marchessault said.
