The Las Vegas Golden Knight cruised through the playoffs. They swept the Los Angeles Kings in the first round, then rested for nine days before taking on the Sharks. San Jose stretched the series to six games, but it never really felt like they could win. The Golden Knight lost their first game in the Western Conference Final, then rattled off four straight wins.

Facing Washington in the Stanley Cup Final should prove to be Las Vegas’ first real challenge this postseason. Washington has been inconsistent so far, but has shown an incredible will to fight and now has a chance to win the city’s first-ever Stanley Cup Title.
