Minnesota leads the best-of-seven series, 1-0. The energy of the crowd at T-Mobile Arena was the story in the first period as Vegas and Minnesota skated to a heated 0-0 tie through 20 minutes. Neither side broke through in the middle frame and the Golden Knights and Wild took the ice for the final frame knotted in a scoreless tie. The score remained the same through 60 minutes and the first game of the series went to overtime. Joel Eriksson Ek scored at 3:20 of overtime to give Minnesota the win.
Wild Comeback Victory The Golden Knights trailed the Minnesota Wild, 4-2, on March 1 in the late stages of the third period before tying the game in regulation & winning in overtime. It was the first time in the franchise's regular-season history they have overcome a multi-goal deficit in the third period to win the game. The Golden Knights did it one time prior in the NHL's Round Robin, defeating Dallas, 5-3 (Aug. 3, 2020). It was the 16th time the Golden Knights have overcome a multi-goal deficit in franchise history (including regular-season & playoffs).
X-Marks The Spot (x4) The Vegas Golden Knights are the fourth franchise in NHL history to make the playoffs in each of its first four seasons, following the Edmonton Oilers (13; 1980–1992), New York Rangers (9; 1927–1935) &St. Louis Blues (6; 1968–1973). Each club did so under different rules &circumstances, with only Vegas &Edmonton achieving the feat after the 1967-68 expansion season.
Series Dubs & Final Four Appearances In 2020, Vegas became the third franchise in League history to earn at least one series win in two of its first three seasons & the first to reach the Conference Finals at least twice in its first three campaigns. The Golden Knights (5-3) now have as many or more series wins as five active NHL franchises.
Elite Company The Golden Knights enter their fourth postseason with a playoff win percentage of .583 (28-20 in 48 games played). They rank second in NHL history only behind the Edmonton Oilers, who have a win percentage of .597 (160-108 in 268 games played).
Bringing Jennings Vibes Into The Postseason Vegas Golden Knights goaltenders Marc-Andre Fleury & Robin Lehner combined for a goals-against average of 2.18, good enough for the lowest GAA in the NHL this season, earning the duo the Jennings Trophy. It was the lowest GAA for a team since the Washington Captials had 2.16 in 2016- 17. The tandem comes into the 2021 Stanley Cup Playoffs with the most playoff experience in the NHL (172 GP), with Robin Lehner (26 GP) playing the bulk of games in the 2020 postseason (16 of 20 games). Lehner matched the NHL record for shutouts in a single playoff series, blanking the Vancouver Canucks three times in the 2020 Second Round.
Stanley Cup Pedigree The Vegas roster includes four Stanley Cup champions: Marc-Andre Fleury (2009 PIT, 2016 PIT, 2017 PIT), Alec Martinez (2012 LAK, 2014 LAK), Alex Pietrangelo (2019 STL) & Chandler Stephenson (2018 WSH). Fleury is one of eight active NHL players – & the only active goaltender – with his name on the Cup at least three times; he can become the 13th netminder in NHL history to have his name engraved four or more times.
Consecutive Playoff Flowers Vegas goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury passed Tony Esposito & became the first goaltender in NHL history – & 21st player at any position – to skate in 15 consecutive postseasons after starting Game 1 of the 2021 Stanley Cup Playoffs against Minnesota. Only four goaltenders in League history have made 15 playoff appearances at any point in their careers. He also holds the longest active streak amongst any player in the four major leagues (MLB/NBA/NFL/NHL). The full list is below. PLAYER LEAGUE CONSECUTIVE YEARS IN POSTSEASON

Fleury Looking To Climb All-Time Rankings Vegas goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury is the League’s active leader in playoff wins (81) & games played (147). He is in position to tie Grant Fuhr (150 GP) for fourth place in history for games played among goaltenders & within reach of equaling Billy Smith & Ed Belfour – who each have 88 wins – for fourth place in career playoff victories.
Orignial Misfits Ten current Golden Knights players helped the club reach the 2018 Final: William Carrier, Marc-Andre Fleury, William Karlsson, Jonathan Marchessault, Brayden McNabb, Tomas Nosek, Ryan Reaves, Reilly Smith, Shea Theodore & Alex Tuch.
Life of Reilly In The Postseason Vegas forward Reilly Smith is one of seven players to play in all 48 postseason games in Golden Knights history & is the franchise leader in playoff assists (31) & points (42). Only 18 players in League history have skated in each of a franchise’s first 50 all-time playoff games; Daniel Alfredsson (99 GP with OTT) is the only player to do so for a club that joined the NHL in the 1990s or later.
Corner Stone Vegas will enter the playoffs with a designated captain for the first time, with Mark Stone donning the “C” after collecting 13-16—29 through 28 postseason games with the club. Stone ranks among the top 10 in the NHL for playoff points since 2019 when he joined the Golden Knights.
