The Golden Knights struck first in the 2023 Stanley Cup Final, taking Game 1 on Saturday night 5-2 over the Panthers.
Five different skaters found the back of the net and goaltender Adin Hill continued his sensational run in these playoffs, stopping 32 shots en route to the series-opening win.
Zach Whitecloud broke a 2-2 tie in the third period with his second goal of the postseason. Vegas captain Mark Stone doubled the lead later in the frame, and Reilly Smith iced the game with an empty-net goal.

The Golden Knights also received goals from Jonathan Marchessault, who has 10 in his last 11 games, and Shea Theodore.
Eric Staal and Anthony Duclair lit the lamp for Florida. Goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky finished the night with 29 saves, but his four goals allowed were the most in a game since Game 6 against the Bruins in the first round.
The Golden Knights have a chance to take a commanding 2-0 series lead with a win in Game 2. The Panthers are aiming to tie the series before it shifts to South Florida.
