NHL Playoffs Tracker: Series Results, Odds, Top Scorers, May 27 Schedule
The Vegas Golden Knights are four wins away from winning the Stanley Cup playoffs.
They beat the Colorado Avalanche 2-1 on Tuesday to win Game 4 and sweep the series. Vegas is the seventh team in NHL history to sweep the No. 1 seed and the second team to do so to advance to the Stanley Cup final.
While the Avalanche won the Presidents' Trophy, the Golden Knights finished 13th overall in the regular season, one spot below the Washington Capitals, which didn't even qualify for the playoffs in the East.
But through 16 playoff games, the Golden Knights have lost only four times, and they've averaged the second-most goals-for in the playoffs and the third-fewest goals against.
