The process was not flawless, but no one can argue about the results for the Vegas Golden Knights.
With the team defeating the Nashville Predators 5-3 on Saturday, the Golden Knights have clinched the Pacific Division trophy, ensuring they receive home-ice advantage through the first two rounds of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
The season is not yet finished for the Golden Knights, with two road games against the Calgary Flames and Vancouver Canucks remaining on the schedule. However, with their seeding now locked in, the team can choose to rest players accordingly as they prepare to make a postseason run.
