The Golden Knights learned who they will be playing in the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs Saturday night.
The Golden Knights are getting a brief break in their quest for the Stanley Cup while waiting for the second round of the playoffs to begin against Edmonton.
The Golden Knights advanced to the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs after eliminating the Winnipeg Jets in five games. Here are five reasons that victory was possible.
The Golden Knights will add a key component back to their lineup for Game 5 of their first-round series with the Winnipeg Jets, but scratch the NHL’s all-time iron man.
Captain Mark Stone recorded three points, and the Golden Knights closed their first-round series with the Winnipeg Jets with a victory Thursday at T-Mobile Arena.
Left wing Brett Howden has been a key contributor in the Golden Knights’ series against the Winnipeg Jets, recording three points while posting a plus-5 rating at five-on-five.
Golden Knights left wing William Carrier was a full participant in Wednesday’s practice, which means he could return for Thursday’s game against the Winnipeg Jets.
After the Golden Knights took a 3-1 series lead over the Winnipeg Jets on Monday, captain Mark Stone told his teammates that Game 5 is “going to be the hardest one.”
The Golden Knights won their third straight game in their series against the Winnipeg Jets on Monday at Canada Life Centre to take a 3-1 lead in their first-round matchup.
The Golden Knights played the fourth-longest game in franchise history Saturday at Winnipeg, defeating the Jets in double overtime to take a 2-1 series lead.
Golden Knights right wing Keegan Kolesar appeared to stare down a fan after scoring against the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday. Turns out, that wasn’t quite the case.
The Winnipeg Jets will be without Josh Morrissey, their best defenseman, for the remainder of their first-round Stanley Cup playoff series against the Golden Knights.
Golden Knights left wing Michael Amadio scored in double overtime, and the Golden Knights took a 2-1 lead in their first-round series against the Winnipeg Jets.
The pressure William Karlsson provides is relentless. It’s been difficult for the Winnipeg Jets to handle, as he already has two goals and an assist.
