Golden Knights forward William Karlsson believes the goals may start to come in bunches after he’s finally able to score one this season.
He even has a name for his theory.
“In Sweden, we call it the ketchup effect,” Karlsson said after practice Monday at City National Arena. “It’s like when you bang on the bottom of the bottle and get nothing, but eventually once some comes out it all pours out. Hopefully, we can get some ketchup effect.”
So far, all the pounding on the bottle has been fruitless. Karlsson, who was third in the NHL with 43 goals last season, has yet to find the back of the net in six games as the anchor of the Knights’ top line.
