WINNIPEG, Manitoba — Jonathan Marchessault changed the dynamic of the Western Conference Final with two backhanded flicks of his stick.
The Golden Knights’ forward backed up his words with a pair of goals and helped the Knights take home-ice away from the Winnipeg Jets in a 3-1 win that evened the series at one game apiece.
Momentum and the series now shifts for the Knights to Game 3 at 6 p.m. Wednesday at T-Mobile Arena.
“We showed the hockey world we have earned the right to be here,” Marchessault said. “We’re definitely satisfied with our effort. Everyone showed up.”

Kevin Allen, USA Today
If you placed a $100 bet on the
expansion Vegas Golden Knights when they were listed at 500/1 odds to
win the Stanley Cup, you'd have no confusion about who to root for in
the NHL playoffs.
The Golden Knights
moved a step closer to this unlikely occurrence when they knocked off
the San Jose Sharks 3-0 in Game 6 Sunday night to win their second-round
series and earn a trip to the Western Conference final. They even
caught a break Sunday when Nate Schmidt was awarded a goal that originally was missed by on-ice officials but was caught after the fact on replay.
Vegas
will face the winner of the Winnipeg Jets-Nashville Predators series,
which the Jets lead 3-2 heading into Monday's Game 6 in Winnipeg.
Even
if you have no money riding on the Golden Knights, here are five
reasons why you should root for them to win the Stanley Cup:

The Monday Morning Quarterback
The latest episode of For Pete’s Sake: The Podcast is now available on iTunes, TuneIn, Soundcloud, Internet Archiver, Podomatic, and right here on The Monday Morning Quarterback!
It’s an exciting time in sports. Las Vegas, a city professional sports
leagues used to avoid like the plague, is all of a sudden the center of
the sports universe, with the NHL and NFL on their ways to the Silver
State. How long until the NBA and Major League Baseball join them? And
while it’s great that the NHL is expanding to Vegas, it’s somewhat
bittersweet that a fabled franchise like the Raiders are leaving their
legacy in Oakland, for a shiny new stadium in Sin City. Is it time for
all small-market teams to panic? Pete Solari discusses all of this and more on
episode 11 of For Pete’s Sake, recorded April 22, 2017.
