The Golden Knights beat Dallas to go up 3-0 in the Western Conference Final, an edge that has been overcome just four times in the history of the NHL.

The Golden Knights received goals from three of their four lines in beating the Dallas Stars in overtime of Game 1 of the Western Conference Final on Friday.

Pete DeBoer leads the Dallas Stars into the Western Conference Final against the Golden Knights, the team that fired him after missing the playoffs for the first time.

Pressed into duty in Game 3, Golden Knights goaltender Adin Hill stopped 39 straight shots in a series-clinching win over the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday.

It conjured memories of Cody Eakin’s major penalty against San Jose in 2019, but this the time the Golden Knights survived to defeat the Edmonton Oilers in Game 5.

The game got physical Wednesday between the Golden Knights and Oilers, but it was Edmonton coming away with a victory to tie the best-of-seven series 2-2.

Center Jack Eichel is at the top of his game for the Golden Knights, who have a 2-1 series lead over Connor McDavid — the world’s best hockey player — and the Edmonton Oilers.

There are team wins, and then there are ones like this. It set the standard for such. This wasn’t the Golden Knights team that lost Game 2 5-1. Far from it.

Bruce Cassidy has proven he will run all four lines, even when the opponent has two of the world’s best players in Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl.

Six days after their last game, the Golden Knights beat Edmonton in Game 1 of their best-of-seven playoff series at T-Mobile Arena.

Connor McDavid and Jack Eichel — who went 1-2 in the 2015 NHL draft — meet for the first time in an NHL playoff series when the Edmonton Oilers play the Golden Knights.
