So, how do you beat the Golden Knights?
It has been done. Twenty-four times in regulation to be exact during the regular season, seven more times in overtime or in a shootout.
But the Stanley Cup playoffs are a different story. You’re facing the same team at least four times and perhaps as many as seven. You’ll get to know them and vice versa.
Still, a team’s DNA reveals a lot about itself. In the Knights’ case, it’s all about speed. And what it will come down to for the Los Angeles Kings is whether or not they can negate that speed, particularly through the neutral zone where the Knights like to get their simple yet smart transition passing game in gear.
