Golden Knights Blow Out Stars in Game 6 (6-0) to Reach Stanley Cup Finals
Leave no doubt! Much like the Heat, the Golden Knights saw a 3-0 series lead start to dwindle in the West Finals of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Stars won Game 5 on Saturday (4-2) to force a Game 6 on Memorial Day, but this one was never in question. Vegas blanked Dallas in Game 6 (6-0) after scoring three goals in the first 14 minutes and demoralizing the Stars on their home ice. William Karlsson (2 goals, 1 assist) was the offensive catalyst while Vegas goaltender Adin Hill (18 saves) delivered his second shutout of the series. Vegas is heading back to the Cup Finals against the underdog Florida Panthers.
Coming Back for the Cup: In Year 6 after the franchise’s inception (2017-18), the Golden Knights are making their second Stanley Cup Finals appearance. Vegas went to the Finals in that inaugural season before losing to the Capitals. Now, they’re back with another shot at the franchise’s first Cup.
