TAMPA, Fla. — Nate Schmidt made a suggestion on how to wake up the Golden Knights’ hibernating offense.
And he put the onus on himself and his fellow defensemen to carry it out.
“I think we need a little bit more out of the back end, just to help push things over the top here, get our group moving,” Schmidt said.
The Knights won’t be confused for division rivals San Jose or Calgary when it comes to production from the blue line.
Entering Tuesday’s game against the Lightning, the Knights unofficially ranked 12th in the NHL in points from defensemen with 106.
