Las Vegas Golden Knights

Their path to the Finals

The Pacific Division Champions and number one seed in the West began their route to the Cup finals by absorbing a 5-1 beat down courtesy of the Jets before scoring twice as many goals as Winnipeg over the next four victories to advance.

The Conference semi-finals highlighted the Knights versus Edmonton a team they edged out for the division title by one win and beat in the first game of the series in a 10-goal game.

Each team split at home and the one-goal victory in game five on top of scoring three more goals than the Oilers in game six provided the series victory for the Knights and a trip to the Conference Finals.

When the Knights won the first two home games in OT and then shut out the Stars in game three most fans were thinking sweep but Dallas won a double overtime and then doubled up the score on the road to win their second in a row against the Knights.

The Knights proved to be the true road warriors in the series as they crushed any hope the Stars had to advance with a dominating six-goal shutout all-around team effort to propel themselves to the Stanley Cup Finals.
