Golden Knights ground Jets 4-2 for series lead in NHL Western Conference final
LAS VEGAS — Gerard Gallant wasn’t a believer in October, but the Vegas Golden Knights head coach was confident by January his expansion team had what it took to go deep in the playoffs.
The Knights led the NHL’s Western Conference final two games to one after beating the Winnipeg Jets 4-2 on Wednesday.
Game 4 is back at T-Mobile Arena on Friday. The series returns to Winnipeg for Sunday’s Game 5.
The Knights are two victories away from advancing to the Stanley Cup final, which no modern-era expansion team has ever done.
