On the night of the expansion draft, Golden Knights coach Gerard Gallant said there was more offensive talent on the roster than he expected.
But Gallant admitted Tuesday after practice at City National Arena that he’s surprised at the Knights’ gaudy goal-scoring numbers.
Entering Wednesday’s game at Anaheim, the Knights (12-6-1, 25 points) lead the Western Conference in goals per game (3.58) and were fourth in the NHL behind Tampa Bay, the New York Islanders and Toronto.
“We’re scoring a lot more goals than I thought, and anybody else thought,” Gallant said. “I know we’ve got some talent level, but we’re finding ways to score goals.
