The Las Vegas Golden Knights have won their first Stanley Cup in franchise history, defeating the Florida Panthers 9-3 on Tuesday night. Head coach Peter Cassidy had expressed confidence the day before the game that his team would play well, and they certainly did, blowing open a one-goal game in the second period to lead 6-1. The win marks a historic moment for the Golden Knights, who have only been in existence since 2017, and is the first major professional sports championship in Las Vegas history.
