WINNIPEG --The Vegas Golden Knights can reach the Stanley Cup Final by defeating the Winnipeg Jets in Game 5 of the Western Conference Final at Bell MTS Place on Sunday (3 p.m. ET; NBC, CBC, TVAS, SN).

Vegas would be the third NHL team in its first season to reach the Cup Final, after the 1918 Toronto Arenas and 1968 St. Louis Blues.
The Golden Knights lead the best-of-7 series 3-1 following a 3-2 win in Game 4 at T-Mobile Arena on Friday.

Both of Vegas' series-clinching wins have come on the road (Game 4 against the Los Angeles Kings in the first round and Game 6 against the San Jose Sharks in the second round), experiences that have given the Golden Knights the confidence necessary to end this series Sunday.
"Yeah, we've done it twice, so we expect ourselves to do it again," Golden Knights forward David Perron said Saturday. "Again, it's never easy to close out a series. Felt like the last two rounds it was a really good game for us, the last game there, the last win. We got to bring much of the same, have guys step up at the right time."

The Golden Knights are 8-1 in the playoffs when scoring first.
"Just be ready from the start," Vegas goalie Marc-Andre Fleury said. "We always know they have a good start in their building. It's going to be loud, it's going to be a little crazy. But I think just focus on the beginning, get through the game quickly, take care of business."
Fleury made 35 saves Friday and the three-time winner of the Stanley Cup (2009, 2016 and 2017 with the Pittsburgh Penguins), leads the NHL with 11 playoff wins. He said he's been relaxed, which wasn't always the case.

"I just learned that for me that's what works best, trying to stay loose and having fun," Fleury said. "During the game, I think it helps me play better. Obviously, if we're down by four goals, I'm not smiling or having fun. But obviously we're winning, it's been a great run. I just try to stay loose, keep the guys loose, just focus on my job."
Golden Knights coach Gerard Gallant said they have fared well dealing with the spectacle of the playoffs.
"It's hard, obviously, the attention our team is getting," Gallant said. "I thought that was going to happen from the first game of the playoffs. Really the guys, they haven't changed. Nothing different about them in practice. Nothing different about them when you're in this room with them. Come to the rink, have fun, work hard. Hopefully, we play a real good game and we win."
