A night after the Denver Nuggets claimed the Larry O’Brien Trophy as NBA champions, another of the Mountain State teams can claim a league title on home ice.

The Vegas Golden Knights rebounded from their Game 3 loss by getting the win on Saturday night, pushing the Florida Panthers to the brink of elimination. Florida has been in this position before, but their clutch player, Matthew Tkachuk, has been hobbled by an injury and had his impact limited.

It would be the first Stanley Cup for the Golden Knights in just their sixth year of existence. They fell short in their inaugural season, finishing as the runner-up, but tonight can capitalize on the championship window they launched with.
