SUNRISE, Fla. — Florida’s Mike Hoffman scored the go-ahead goal on a breakaway at 6:13 of the third period to hand the Golden Knights a 3-1 loss Saturday at BB&T Center.
The Knights dropped their fourth straight game, the longest regular-season losing skid in franchise history. They lost four straight to Washington in the Stanley Cup Final.
Coach Gerard Gallant switched his forward lines, but the move couldn’t spark the Knights’ stagnant offense, which has scored two goals or fewer in five of the past six games.
Max Pacioretty scored for the Knights at 8:07 of the first period, tying the score 1-1.
