The Dallas Stars won another one-goal game, and now lead the Vegas Golden Knights 3-1 in the series.
Just as everyone drew up, right?
Prior to the start of the Western Conference Final, nearly universally the Vegas team was considered deeper, with better goaltending, and higher scoring, than Dallas. Almost everyone assumed that this would be a sweep or maybe a Vegas advancement in five games.
Instead, the team that plays in Big D are on the cusp of advancing to the Stanley Cup Final for the first time in 20 years. But that fourth win is the hardest to come by, and it won’t just be given to them, either.
