The Vegas Golden Knights continue to be the best story in the NHL.
It took the expansion club just one game to notch a first-ever postseason victory, as it edged the Los Angeles Kings 1-0 in Game 1 of the teams' first-round series Wednesday night.
It was an evening full of firsts for the Golden Knights, who needed less than four minutes to score their first-ever postseason goal off a Shea Theodore shot. It was also the first playoff game at T-Mobile Arena, where a raucous crowd witnessed a quintessentially Vegas pregame introduction.
Game 2 goes Friday night.
