The Vegas Golden Knights opened the Western Conference semifinals with a bang.
Playing in front of a buzzing home crowd at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, the Golden Knights throttled the San Jose Sharks, 7-0, in Game 1 on Thursday night.
The goals came early and often for the Golden Knights, who had been off since April 17 following a four-game sweep of the Los Angeles Kings in Round 1.
Cody Eakin got the partied started with his second goal of the playoffs 4:31 into the first period, and the floodgates opened after that.
NHLFresh off a 4-0 series win, the @GoldenKnights wasted no time getting on the board.
