LAS VEGAS — Golden Knights left wing William Carrier’s career-best 16th goal Feb. 23 — a third-period equalizer against division rival Calgary — carried an important side effect.
Carrier didn’t just provide the Knights a jolt in a 4-3 overtime win. He also gave a boost to some local charitable organizations.
Carrier made a deal with Knights fan Lan Beyster that for every goal he scored this season, she would donate $1,000 to a charity of his choice. All he did in response was score seven more goals than he ever had in his seven-year career.
