LAS VEGAS -- The Vegas Golden Knights' inaugural NHL season came to an end Thursday with a loss to the Washington Capitals in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final.
The Golden Knights defied all odds by winning the Pacific Division with 109 points before storming through the first three rounds of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. They eliminated the Los Angeles Kings, San Jose Sharks and Winnipeg Jets, losing three games in those three series, before falling to the Capitals, who won the Cup for the first time in their 43-season history.
