SUNRISE, Fla. — Chandler Stephenson scored two goals and William Karlsson added what proved to be the game winner, and the Vegas Golden Knights outlasted the Florida Panthers 3-2 Saturday night in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final.

With the win, Vegas secured a 3-1 series lead and will have a chance to win its first Stanley Cup on Tuesday night at home. Brandon Montour and Aleksander Barkov scored for the Panthers, who fell down 3-0 before showing signs of life.

With Florida goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky pulled in the final two minutes, the Panthers threw everything they could at Vegas goaltender Adin Hill before time ran out.

Florida, also in search of its first Stanley Cup, has rallied from a 3-1 series deficit already this postseason, when the Panthers defeated the Boston Bruins in Round 1 in seven games.

Vegas Golden Knights thrash Florida Panthers to win NHL Stanley Cup

LOS ANGELES: Mark Stone grabbed a brilliant hat-trick as the Vegas Golden Knights thrashed the Florida Panthers 9-3 on Tuesday to clinch the NHL Stanley Cup for the first time in the franchise’s six-year history.

Las Vegas wanted the NHL. And now the city has the Stanley Cup

A month after Las Vegas was awarded an NHL team in the summer of 2016, a local paper held a series of, in the publication’s own words, “wildly unscientific” unofficial polls asking its readers to pick the franchise’s name. The Black Knights, the Knights, and the Neon Knights were all among the early choices. But only the Knights made it past the second round of voting, proving less popular than Scorpions and the eventual winner, the Outlaws. The Knights name – and variations of it – wasn’t a winner.
