VEGAS
The good times don’t stop for the Vegas Golden Knights. Vegas took care of the Sharks by a 3-0 margin and the series is over in six. Marc-Andre Fleury was perfect with 28 saves, while the Golden Knights got goals from Jonathan Marchessault, Nate Schmidt and Cody Eakin in the victory. Vegas heads to the Western Conference Championship, where they’ll face the winner between Winnipeg and Nashville. The Jets have a 3-2 lead over Nashville, and they’ll get the chance to close out the series at home on Monday.
A Vegas-Winnipeg conference final could not have been predicted nine months ago.
We’re one game away from it today.
