Panthers vs Golden Knights preview

A brand new name is about to be etched onto the Stanley Cup, with both the Florida Panthers and the Vegas Golden Knights aiming to win the NHL Playoffs for the very first time. As the top seeds in the West, Bruce Cassidy's Knights have matched their potential by reaching this stage. The Panthers, on the other hand...

Paul Maurice's rag-tag group scraped into the postseason by the skin of their teeth, and they've been running riot ever since. Their comeback defeat of the history-making Bruins was arguably the greatest upset this competition has ever seen, and Matthew Tkachuk's last-gasp winner against the Canes has only gilded their legend.

However, the Panthers have got here by playing as if they had nothing to lose. Now they do. They've only got to this stage once before, 27 years ago, while Maurice's only previous trip to the Stanley Cup Finals also ended in heartache, back in 2002.

By some quirk of fate, this also happens to be the Golden Knights' second ever championship series appearance, after the franchise fell at the final hurdle at the end of its inaugural season. And like his opposite number, Cassidy has made it here once before as a coach, but was unable to make it stick.

Do Tkachuk and Sergei Bobrovsky have one more job in them, or will Jack Eichel and Jonathan Marchessault prove too strong? Here's how to watch a Panthers vs Golden Knights live stream no matter where you are. The puck drops for Game 1 at 8pm ET / 5pm PT on Saturday.
