The Vegas Golden Knights have taken a commanding 2-0 lead in the NHL Western Conference Final as the series shifts to Dallas for Game 3. After two dominant performances in Las Vegas, the Golden Knights have put themselves in a great position to advance to the Stanley Cup Finals.
The Golden Knights have been led by their top line of Jonathan Marchessault, William Karlsson, and Reilly Smith, who have combined for 12 points in the two games. Marchessault has been particularly impressive, scoring three goals and adding four assists. He has been a driving force behind the Golden Knights’ success in this series.
The Golden Knights have also gotten great goaltending from Marc-Andre Fleury, who has stopped all but one of the Stars’ shots in the series. Fleury has been a rock in net for Vegas, and his performance has been a major reason why the Golden Knights have taken a 2-0 lead.
The Stars will now need to regroup and find a way to get back into the series. They will need to get more production from their top players, such as Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin, who have been held off the scoresheet so far in the series. The Stars will also need to find a way to slow down the Golden Knights’ top line if they want to have any chance of coming back in this series.
It will be interesting to see how the Stars respond in Game 3. If they can find a way to get back into the series, it could be a long and exciting Western Conference Final. However, if the Golden Knights continue their strong play, they could be on their way to the Stanley Cup Finals.
