VANCOUVER, British Columbia — The visiting locker room at Rogers Arena is painted black and gold, the colors of the local professional lacrosse team.
But the Golden Knights looked right at home Saturday.
The visitors scored five times in the opening period, a franchise record for goals in a period, and rolled to a 6-2 victory over the Vancouver Canucks.
“Obviously any time you start the game with whatever we had there that quick, it’s a different kind of game,” defenseman Colin Miller said. “It was great that we got that early lead and then I think from there we took control, so it was great.
