The Vegas Golden Knights have dominated the first two games of the Stanley Cup Final and only need two more wins to clinch their first championship.
Neither the Panthers nor the Golden Knights have previously won a Stanley Cup. The Florida Panthers last went to the Stanley Cup Final in 1996, when they were swept by the Colorado Avalanche. The Vegas Golden Knights made it to the Cup Final in their inaugural season in 2018, but lost in five games to the Washington Capitals.
Mathew Tkachuk came to the Panthers in a trade with the Calgary Flames last offseason and has dominated in key moments this postseason, but has been quiet so far in the Final. Tkachuk knows that tonight’s Game 3 will be important.
“This is by far the biggest game of our season. We know what has made us successful to this point. We’re definitely not going to shy away from that,” he told ESPN.
In order to make this a series, he and the Panthers will have to push back against Jack Eichel and a Vegas Golden Knights team that’s powered its way through the Winnipeg Jets, Edmonton Oilers and the Dallas Stars to reach their second Stanley Cup Final in six years.
