3 . Offense

The Golden Knights have been playing with a good offense — an offense that will help them in the playoffs. It helps to have players like William Karlsson, who has 42 goals and leads the league with a plus-46 rating. Vegas also has four players with at least 20 goals and four players who have 30-plus assists.

Vegas had the fourth-best record for goals, with 272 this season. Of those, 207 of them were even strength. That means they know how to find spots to score. Goals nowadays can be hard to come by with the level of defense in the league. But the Golden Knights have come right in and found ways to score goals. This offense is a good at playing together and playing off each other’s strengths.

The lines work together. The Knights even had seven goals in one game,which was the most in a game this season. When their offense is going they can be hard to beat. Everyone knows their job and contributes.

The Golden Knights have plenty of crucial contributors, like Deryk Engell and Erk Haula. They can be hard to keep down and a challenge for any team. The playoffs will be a good challenge for their offense.
