WINNIPEG -- The Vegas Golden Knights were living a nightmare that they had put their first two opponents through in winning eight of their first 10 Stanley Cup Playoff games.
In Game 1 of the Western Conference Final, the home crowd at Bell MTS Place on Saturday was rabid, a visceral, intimidating force. On the ice, the Winnipeg Jets used a combination of size and speed to defeat the Golden Knights 4-2.
