While those around him have been slipping into offensive ruts, Pacioretty has embarked on a hot streak and he certainly can’t be faulted for the recent struggles of the Vegas Golden Knights.
An offensive threat all season, Pacioretty had the Midas touch in-front of goal yet again on Sunday after sniping one home against the Detroit Red Wings for his fifth goal in four games.
It was another big moment from the veteran who delivered plenty during the Knights’ ill-fated four-game road trip, but his efforts were ultimately in vain with the rest of his teammates unable to step up to the plate.
