Three takeaways from the Golden Knights’ 5-2 victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Friday:
1. Early jump.
Golden Knights coach Gerard Gallant wanted to see his team get off to a fast start and reverse a trend that saw opposing teams score first in 10 of the Knights’ first 15 games.
He got his wish, as the Knights opened a 2-0 lead on first-period goals from Luca Sbisa and David Perron.
Winnipeg had scored first in its six prior games (4-0-2).
“I thought, again, when we play a real good game and we forecheck, we’re a quick team,” Gallant said.
