The Golden Knights’ third line isn’t carrying much of the scoring load right now.
But it’s not getting the team beat, either, and that’s what coach Gerard Gallant cares about.
Since Alex Tuch was put on the third line with center Cody Eakin, the two haven’t been on the ice for a 5-on-5 goal against, and they’re a combined plus-11.
“(They’re playing) solid hockey,” Gallant said. “I don’t care who scores or how many goals we get. It’s about winning hockey games, and I think our group’s the same way. Come out and play hard, play well, do the right things defensively and we’ll get enough goals to win.
