The Golden Knights are asking players lower in their lineup to contribute more with injuries piling up.

It hasn’t happened yet.

The Knights wrap up a six-game homestand Thursday against the New York Islanders. To say it’s been a disappointing 1-3-1 stretch is putting it mildly. Each loss has been a one-goal game at some point in the third period.

The Knights have been outscored 17-11 their past five games. Their lone win in that span was a 1-0 victory over the Detroit Red Wings .

Only four forwards have more than three points since the homestand started Oct. 31: Right wing Mitch Marner (seven), left wing Ivan Barbashev (six) and centers Jack Eichel (three) and Tomas Hertl (three).

Defensemen Shea Theodore and Noah Hanifin have two points each.
