Knights Hold Off Canes in 2OT
Vegas is two wins from a second title in four years after surviving a double-overtime Game 3 win over Carolina, players said.
Back in the Stanley Cup Final for the third time, the Vegas Golden Knights need two victories for their second championship in four years.
Hockey historian Eric Zweig notes Vegas ranks among the top expansion franchises in NHL history, with fans celebrating the team's nine-season rise.
Forward Brett Howden leads the playoffs with 13 goals, while coach John Tortorella credits the team's composed response during the high-scoring series.
The Golden Knights escaped with a double-overtime victory in Game 3 on Saturday, taking a 2-1 series lead against the Carolina Hurricanes.
Another Stanley Cup Final victory would cement Vegas as the best expansion franchise in NHL history, though the Hurricanes remain determined to even the series Tuesday.
