A wide-open one-timer from the slot. A 2-on-1 break heading toward the net.
These aren’t the chances fourth lines are known for generating, but the Golden Knights’ group did just that against the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday at T-Mobile Arena. Pierre-Edouard Bellemare, Ryan Reaves and William Carrier played “outstanding,” according to coach Gerard Gallant, and showed the bruisers have scoring potential.
“It’s not really the thing that you expect from the fourth line but we’re not here to just kill time,” Bellemare said.
The Knights’ fourth line took six shots in the game, more than the Sabres top line with four.
