William Karlsson scored two goals and had an assist to help the Vegas Golden Knights advance to their second Stanley Cup Final with a 6-0 rout Monday night over the Dallas Stars, who had extended the Western Conference Final to six games after losing the first three.

William Carrier, Keegan Kolesar and Michael Amadio each recorded a goal and an assist for the Knights while Jonathan Marchessault had one goal. Carrier, Marchessault and Karlsson were all part of the inaugural 2017-18 Knights season that ended in their Cup Final.

Adin Hill stopped 23 shots for his second career playoff shutout – both taking place against the Stars during this series as he went 4-0 in Game 3 last Tuesday. The Knights were already within one win of clinching the series before Dallas overcame 1-0 and 2-1 deficits in both Games 4 and 5.

The Knights will face the Florida Panthers Saturday night in Las Vegas to kick off the Stanley Cup Final.

Vegas led the Western Conference in the regular season with 51 wins and 111 points. The Panthers completed a four-game sweep of Carolina in the East final last Wednesday, but their 40 wins and 92 points in the regular season were the fewest among the 16 teams that began this season's NHL playoffs.

Instead of having to face a do-or-die Game 7 at home against the Stars, coach Bruce Cassidy and the Knights got off to another fast start
