Brad Hunt had never scored a game-winning goal in his six-year NHL career before his first-period tally held up in the Golden Knights’ 3-0 win over the Hurricanes on Saturday night.
He could get used to it.
“Every time you score in the NHL it’s a great feeling and for it to be the game winner was awesome,” Hunt said. “Let’s keep them coming.”
Hunt has spent many nights watching games from the press box as a healthy scratch, filling a valuable role on the roster as a defenseman who is able to stay sharp for whenever he is called upon.
