Hilary Knight is one of the greatest goal scorers of all time. But you rarely see the Team USA superstar and captain of the PWHL’s Boston Fleet score with some highlight reel dangle. She is leading the league in scoring because she is simply ALWAYS in the right place at the right time, and ready to finish. She often seems to be doing nothing out there, lurking on the weak side or getting lost behind the net, and then all of a sudden she arrives in the perfect spot at the perfect time.
Check out these 3 goals from this season in the PWHL to see 3 great examples of how she arrives on time and finishes with ease.
