Wide World of Women

Without question, the story of this season has been the debuting Vegas Golden Knights. Their resurgent inaugural season has seen Vegas make history at every turn: a winning season, a playoff berth, 100+ points, a division title, you name it. With players like James Neal, William Karlsson, and goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury, the Knights became a force to be reckoned with in their very first season. Their very first playoff game will take place on Wednesday, and their opponents in this series are the Los Angeles Kings, who are in the playoffs for the fourth time in seven seasons, and looking for their third Stanley Cup. The Kings actually gave the Knights a fit this regular season, but as for when counts the most, I don't see LA getting past the Vegas juggernaut.

Prediction: Knights in 6

#1

Golden Knights 1, Kings 0

Shea Theodore scores the first-ever playoff goal for the Vegas Golden Knights, and it holds up for the victory.

Golden Knights 2, Kings 1 (2OT)

Knights get their first taste of playoff OT, and it ends with Erik Haula scoring 15:23 into the second OT to win it for Vegas and give them a 2-0 lead.

Golden Knights 3, Kings 2

All three Knight goals came in the third period; Vegas is one win away from their first ever playoff series victory.

Golden Knights 1, Kings 0

Golden Knights become the first expansion team in major sports history to sweep their first playoff series in their inaugural season. Marc-Andre Fleury's second shutout of the series helped Vegas advance.
