Early in the season, the Golden Knights were strongest in the second period. And they were getting good results.
Lately, the third period has been the team’s strength, as it has surged to the top of the Pacific Division with a 13-6-1 record and 27 points in 20 games.
The Knights either have outscored or played the opponent even in the final 20 minutes in four of the past five games. The one time the Knights were outscored, they lost when Edmonton dominated the third period 5-1 in an 8-2 win Nov. 14.
