LAS VEGAS -- This is definitely no desert mirage, folks. The expansion Vegas Golden Knights are just one game away from the Stanley Cup final -- and the Winnipeg Jets are on the brink of elimination.
It was deja vu all over again for Winnipeg on Friday night at T-Mobile Arena in a 3-2 defeat that is probably going to sting for a long, long time. Not just in the fact it happened. But how it happened.
Vegas now leads the best-of-seven Western Conference final 3-1 and can close it out with a victory Sunday afternoon at Bell MTS Place.
