Cody Eakin has embraced his new role for the Golden Knights as a defensive-minded center on the third line.
He added some offense on Sunday.
Eakin broke a six-game scoreless streak with a goal and an assist in the Knights’ 4-2 victory over the Los Angeles Kings at T-Mobile Arena.
“Sometimes it comes a lot more when you’re hot, sometimes it doesn’t,” Eakin said. “So you just want to be consistent, try and do the little things right. Every night win your battles, and the points will show up when they do.”
Eakin has been quiet offensively since he was moved off the top line in favor of Erik Haula prior to the game at Boston on Nov.
