BUFFALO, N.Y. — Hilary Knight can put aside the frustrations she felt in her first PWHL season now that she's regained her offensive touch this year. It helps that the face of U.S. women's hockey is pain-free after being slowed by an ankle injury. The 35-year-old Knight also is focused more on hockey after shouldering the burden of making sure the PWHL's inaugural season went off without a glitch. The Boston Fleet captain has already surpassed last season's totals with eight goals and 17 points through 19 games. And she's leading PWHL forwards in averaging nearly 22 minutes of ice time per game.
