The Golden Knights formula for success during their three-game winning streak has been simple: Don’t give up many goals.
The Knights have allowed just one goal in each of their last three games, one of the best defensive stretches in their history, and that helped them climb into a tie atop the Western Conference and Pacific Division standings entering Monday.
“I think that’s what our team’s done the last three or four games, played real good solid defense and that’s leading to good offense,” coach Gerard Gallant said.
The Knights’ recent defensive success marks the second time in two seasons they’ve allowed one or fewer goals in three straight games.
