Four players proved greater than five for the Golden Knights on Sunday.
The Knights scored three short-handed goals and topped the San Jose Sharks 5-2 at T-Mobile Arena in front of an announced crowd of 17,958.
Forward Tomas Nosek scored two of the goals and forward Max Pacioretty had the other in the team’s final preseason game. The regular season begins Thursday at home against the Philadelphia Flyers.
It morphed into an impressive showcase for the Knights’ penalty kill, which scored only eight short-handed goals all last season and faced what should be one of the NHL’s top power-play units.
