As an undersized defenseman growing up, Brad Hunt needed a way to stand out.
“The power play was one way that I really focused on,” he said.
Hunt could be the talisman for the Golden Knights’ ailing power play, which ranks last in the NHL at 8.3 percent (2-for-24).
After failing to produce a goal in the first six games, the No. 1 unit scored with the man advantage in each of the past two games since the 5-foot-9-inch Hunt entered the lineup.
“He sees the ice real good and he puts pucks to the net,” coach Gerard Gallant said.
