The story of the Vegas Golden Knights’ inaugural season just continues to get better.
On Tuesday night, the Golden Knights beat the Los Angeles Kings 1-0 to sweep the best-of-seven first-round series.
In doing so, the Golden Knights became the first NHL, MLB, or NBA team to sweep a best-of-seven series in their inaugural season.

The Golden Knights will look to keep their magic going in the second round, where they’ll likely face the San Jose Sharks (up 3-0 in their series against the Anaheim Ducks). At this point, we should no longer be surprised by what they do, and maybe they really do have a legitimate chance to make a run at the Stanley Cup.
