Vegas faces adversity, and deficit, against Stars
Adversity has not been a familiar opponent for the Vegas Golden Knights during this year's Stanley Cup playoffs.
Right now, though, the Golden Knights find themselves in distress, trailing the Dallas Stars 2-1 in their best-of-seven Western Conference final heading into Game 4 Saturday night in Edmonton.
It's not just the fact Vegas is behind -- which is bad enough. Teams which win Game 3 after a series is tied 1-1 in NHL playoff history have a 70-percent victory rate in best-of-seven series, including 9-1 in the first two rounds of this year's tournament.
