And, unfortunately, the Vegas Golden Knights were given a stark reminder of such an example on Saturday against the St. Louis Blues.
Having failed to record a single point in his previous four outings against the Golden Knights, David Perron obviously had enough and he proceeded to put on an absolute show at T-Mobile Arena.
Tallying two primary helpers in the first period alone, Perron was the main reason alone that Vegas was in a three-goal hole.
And, although the Golden Knights would go on to have the last laugh by winning an exhilarating contest in overtime, Perron gave T-Mobile Arena a reminder of what they once had by unleashing a rocket of a slap shot past Marc-Andre Fleury.
