Vegas Closes In On 1st Stanley Cup With Game 4 Win (3-2)

The blues in South Florida continued on Saturday when the Panthers dropped Game 4 to the Golden Knights (3-2) and saw their Stanley Cup hopes dwindle. Vegas jumped out to a 3-0 lead behind goals from Chandler Stephenson (2) and William Karlsson. The Panthers got aggressive down the stretch to pull within one, but it was too little too late. The series heads back to Vegas on Tuesday night for the potential Cup-clinching Game 5. Vegas could be ready to celebrate the city’s second pro sports title in two years (Aces, 2022) after not having a professional franchise until 2017.
