The Tampa Bay Lightning and Vegas Golden Knights headed into the NHL's conference finals as the favorites to advance to the Stanley Cup Final. One of those teams may quickly take care of business. The other, not so much.
While the Lightning jumped out to a 2-0 series lead over the New York Islanders in the Eastern Conference Final, the Golden Knights trail the Dallas Stars 2-1 in the West after the Stars notched a 3-2 victory in overtime in Thursday's Game 3.
However, these are best-of-seven series, and anything could still happen. Teams have come back from deficits before, so Vegas and New York aren't yet out of the running.
