WINNIPEG, Manitoba — Should the Golden Knights close out the Western Conference Final on Sunday against the Winnipeg Jets, they’ll have a tough decision to make.
The Western Conference winner is presented the Clarence S. Campbell Bowl. The captain accepts the trophy, usually from NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly. But the Knights don’t have a captain. They have rotated six players as alternate captains.
So how will they handle it? Will they have one or more of their alternate captains skate over? Will the entire team accept the trophy? Or will they send goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury to accept it?
