DENVER — After rolling in their exhibition opener, the Golden Knights were supposed to face a tougher test Tuesday at Pepsi Center.
Colorado iced a lineup featuring several regulars, but they couldn’t keep up in the Knights’ 5-1 victory.
Erik Brannstrom and Alex Tuch each had a goal and an assist, and goaltender Zach Fucale finished with 24 saves.
The Knights have outscored their opponents 12-3 through two preseason games.
Here’s what else we learned in the Knights victory:
1. Erik Haula remains a work in progress on the wing.
One of the few openings on the Knights’ 23-man roster is at second-line wing, and Haula was given an audition against the Avalanche.
