LOS ANGELES — It’s early in the series, but Shea Theodore is showing signs of being a money player in the Stanley Cup playoffs.
The Golden Knights defenseman already made history when he scored the team’s first playoff goal in a 1-0 win in Game 1 of the Western Conference first-round series against the Los Angeles Kings.
He has also logged big minutes. In the Knights’ 2-1 double-overtime victory Friday, Theodore had 33:08 of ice time. He has been skating well, making smart plays and playing responsibly in his end.
“That’s kind of my job when I’m up there,” Theodore said prior to Game 3 of being an offensive threat.
