Tomas Hertl recorded two goals and two assists on three shots in 16:04 in the Golden Knights' 6-2 win over the Kraken on Tuesday, October 6. Both goals came on the power play.

The four points stand out against his recent averages of 0.74 points per game, but the underlying numbers (three shots, 16:04 of ice time) were typical. His process grade of 88 out of 100 among forwards suggests the scoring can continue if the shot volume and ice time remain steady.

Hertl averages 0.34 goals and 0.40 assists per game in his recent sample, with 2.5 shots per contest and 17:12 of ice time. His Tuesday line (two goals, two assists on three shots in 16:04) delivered well above his scoring pace without the shot or minute increases that typically accompany big nights. He remains on the first power-play unit, where he averages 3:18 per game and ranks fifth among all Golden Knights skaters.

The Golden Knights have three games remaining this week, on Thu, Sat and Mon. Hertl's process grade of 88 out of 100 among forwards reflects strong underlying play in shots, scoring chances and ice time, suggesting the current pace is sustainable. He averages 0.31 power-play points per game and adds 1.3 hits and 0.6 blocks.

What to do

• Keep Hertl rostered and in your lineup for the Golden Knights' three remaining games this week.

• Do not overreact to the four-point night, as his shot and ice time totals were normal for his role.

• Monitor whether his power-play time on the first unit continues to deliver points at his recent 0.31-per-game pace.
