Overall, both clubs played in the Stanley Cup Final three times within their first six campaigns: Boston won at least one round to get there each time (1926-27, 1928-29 & 1929-30), while Ottawa only had to do so twice (1920-21 & 1922-23) because their other appearance (1919-20) was secured via a bye based on regular-season performance. Boston advanced in 1926-27, while Ottawa did so in 1922-23. * In addition, both the Bruins and original Ottawa Senators played in the round before the Stanley Cup Final four times within their first six NHL seasons, but each had only one instance over that span in which they had to win a round to get there (i.e., advance). * The Golden Knights became the third franchise in NHL history to advance to the round before the Stanley Cup Final at least four times within their first six seasons, following the Rangers and Blues who also did so four times. Jonathan Marchessault (3-0-3), one of three players to skate in each of the 77 all-time postseason games for the Golden Knights, tied the contest in the second period and then scored two more before the second intermission to complete the natural hat trick as Vegas advanced to the final four of the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the fourth time in franchise history.
GOLDEN KNIGHTS MARCH INTO CONFERENCE FINALS WITH MARCHESSAULT HAT TRICK * The Golden Knights now await their Western Conference Final opponent as the Stars and Kraken will conclude the Second Round with a Game 7 on Monday night. * Jonathan Marchessault scored the first natural hat trick by a Golden Knights player in the Stanley Cup Playoffs and became just the ninth skater in NHL history with a three-goal period in a potential series-clinching game.
