WASHINGTON — The Golden Knights have suddenly lost their way offensively.
The failure to effectively forecheck, create quality scoring chances and sustain control in the Washington Capitals’ zone has the Knights trailing the Stanley Cup Final 2-1 after the Capitals dominated Game 3 on Saturday in a 3-1 victory at Capital One Arena.
“I think they’re winning a lot of 50-50 battles, the little ones that go a long way at the end of a game,” center Cody Eakin said. After scoring six goals in Game 1, the Knights have just three goals in two games.
