Just four teams remain in competition for the most coveted prize in hockey, Lord Stanley’s Cup. After the Canadiens defeated the Sabres in a thrilling Game 7 overtime victory, the stage is now set for the conference finals in both the East and West.
Squaring off in the Western Conference finals will be the Avalanche and Golden Knights. Colorado has won eight of its nine postseason games after sweeping the Kings in the opening round and defeating the Wild in five games in the second round. They’ve been dominant throughout the playoffs thus far, but face a difficult opponent in Vegas.
