Vegas, year removed from missing playoffs, gets to 2nd Stanley Cup Final
4 minute read 5:01 AM CDTDALLAS (AP) — Vegas captain Mark Stone credits the front office for keeping the core intact after the Golden Knights missed the playoffs for the only time in the young franchise's history last year.
The only major change was with the coach, and Bruce Cassidy — fired by Boston last year — just beat the man he replaced, Pete DeBoer, with Vegas' 6-0 rout of the Dallas Stars in Game 6 of the Western Conference Final on Monday night.
As for the guys on the ice, not much has changed, as the clincher showed.
William Karlsson and Jonathan Marchessault, two of the leading playoff scorers going all the way back to the franchise's other Stanley Cup Final in the expansion season of 2017-18, played a big part in finally eliminating the Stars, who extended the series after falling behind 3-0.
