Erik Haula was never worried.
The Golden Knights’ second-line center had been kept off the scoresheet by the Winnipeg Jets in the opening two games of the Western Conference Final. In fact, he hadn’t even registered a single shot on goal.
But that all changed Wednesday in Game 3 at T-Mobile Arena.
Haula and his linemates James Neal and Alex Tuch came alive with a pair of goals and the Knights took a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series with a 4-2 victory.
Game 4 is 5 p.m. Friday at T-Mobile.
“I got my legs moving a little more,” Haula said of his best performance of the series.
