When the NHL's own website staff guess which two teams will meet in the Stanley Cup final, only one believes Vegas will outdo Colorado and make it there. But it won't be a four-game sweep.
Four different goal scorers and six assists helped Vegas take the first semifinal game. Goaltender Carter Hart also made 36 saves and was named player of the game.
Colorado, without injured defenceman Cale Makar, had major problems getting past the Canadian goaltender. However, Gabriel Landeskog and Valeri Nichushkin improved their stats in the final period.
In the other semifinal, Carolina and Montreal will meet.
