5 reasons why the Golden Knights advanced to the Stanley Cup Final

The Vegas Golden Knights swept the Colorado Avalanche 4-0 in the Western Conference Final to advance to the Stanley Cup Final, marking their third appearance in the Final in nine years. The Knights finished the regular season with 95 points, winning seven of their last eight games, and became the first team since the 2002 Carolina Hurricanes to reach the Final after winning fewer than 40 regular season games. Colorado was hampered by injuries, with Cale Makar missing the first two games and Nathan MacKinnon playing through injury in the final two.
