The Vegas Golden Knights’ playoff run is over. The team dropped a shutout loss on home ice Sunday, June 15, ending what had been widely described as an improbable postseason push.
Details on the final score and opponent weren’t immediately available from the initial report, but the shutout — surrendering zero goals at home — made the defeat about as stark as a postseason exit gets. No goals. No reprieve.
The Golden Knights had entered the run as something of a long shot, according to Yahoo Sports Canada’s account of the series, which framed the team’s playoff stretch as unlikely from the start. That framing made Sunday’s finish land harder; the run hadn’t been expected to last this long, and now it won’t last any longer.
Whether the team’s front office will address roster moves or coaching decisions in the off-season hasn’t been announced.
