The Golden Knights expected big things from their second line after making a significant investment in the unit during the offseason.
They are still awaiting the dividends, though there may be reason to believe a check is in the mail.
“I thought they played well and played hard (on Saturday night),” coach Gerard Gallant said. “They didn’t score, but they’re playing hard and it’s going to come. (Max) Pacioretty had four shots and had some opportunities, so like I said it will come sooner or later.”
Pacioretty, who was acquired in a trade just before training camp, expected to make a big impact on the second line along with free-agent addition Paul Stastny.
