Golden Knights showing championship form on the defensive end in current winning streak

Hindustan Times  

LAS VEGAS — Dallas put one shot after another on goal in the third period of a game at Vegas last week — exactly what the Golden Knights expected and wanted. HT Image The Stars finished with 18 shots on goals in the third, but only one got through because the Golden Knights forced most of them from the perimeter to put goalie Adin Hill in position to make 17 saves in the 3-2 victory. That defense was a hallmark of the Golden Knights' Stanley Cup championship run two seasons ago under coach Bruce Cassidy, and it's a key reason they're surging again. We couldn't keep going where we were giving up that many opportunities, and some of it is people returning to the lineup.” Cassidy, in particular, pointed to the returns of defenseman Alex Pietrangelo as well as forwards Mark Stone and William Karlsson because “your lines are a little more set.” The Golden Knights also got back defenseman Zach Whitecould for the game at Winnipeg.
