Though the Vegas Golden Knights ultimately didn't lift the Stanley Cup at the end of last season, the fact the franchise made it to the final in its first year of existence is rather impressive. You can add another trip to the dance among Vegas' early impressive feats, as a loss by the Arizona Coyotes on Friday resulted in another playoff berth for the Golden Knights.
Vegas joins the Winnipeg Jets, San Jose Sharks, St. Louis Blues, Nashville Predators, Calgary Flames, Tampa Bay Lightning, Boston Bruins and Washington Capitals as teams who have clinched playoff berths.
With roughly a week remaining in the regular season, there are just seven spots available.
