2021 PLAYOFF NOTES 2021 PLAYOFF NOTESX-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 sea-sons, 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.

FINAL FOUR APPEARANCESIn 2020, Vegas became the third franchise in League history to earn at least one series win in two of its first three seasons and 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 COMPANYThe Golden Knights enter their fourth postseason with a playoff win percentage of .596 (28-19 in 47 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 POSTSEASONVegas Golden Knights goaltenders Marc-Andre Fleury and 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 low-est 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 PEDIGREEThe 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) and Chandler Stephenson (2018 WSH). Fleury is one of eight active NHL players – and 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 FLOWERSIf Vegas goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury appears in a game during the 2021 Stanley Cup Playoffs, he can pass Tony Esposito and become the first goaltender in NHL history – and 21st player at any position – to skate in 15 consec-utive postseasons. 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 POSTSEASONMarc-Andre Fleury NHL 14Kyle Korver NBA 13Tom Brady NFL 12

2021 PLAYOFF NOTES 2021 PLAYOFF NOTESFLEURY LOOKING TO CLIMB ALL-TIME RANKINGS Vegas goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury is the League’s active leader in playoff wins (81) and games played (146). He is in position to tie Grant Fuhr (150 GP) for fourth place in history for games played among goaltenders and within reach of equaling Billy Smith and Ed Belfour – who each have 88 wins – for fourth place in career playoff victories.

ORIGINAL MISFITSTen current Golden Knights players helped the club reach the 2018 Final: William Carrier, Marc-Andre Fleury, Wil-liam Karlsson, Jonathan Marchessault, Brayden McNabb, Tomas Nosek, Ryan Reaves, Reilly Smith, Shea Theo-dore and Alex Tuch.

SMITTY SEASONVegas forward Reilly Smith is one of seven players to play in all 47 postseason games in Golden Knights history and is the franchise leader in playoff assists (31) and 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 STONEVegas will enter the playoffs with a designated captain for the first time, with Mark Stone donning the “C” after col-lecting 13-16—29 through 27 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.

MAX EFFORT WHEN IT MATTERSVegas forward Max Pacioretty leads all current Vegas players with 20 career postseason goals (61 GP), half of which have come across 23 playoff games with the Golden Knights (also 10 G in 38 GP w/ MTL).

GOING STREAKING!The Vegas Golden Knights rattled off 10 consecutive victories from April 9 to April 28. It was the longest winning streak in the NHL during the 2020-21 season and set a franchise record for the longets winning streak in franchise history. Vegas is the first team in NHL history to post multiple such runs of at least eight games through their first four seasons of existence. The Sabres (8-0-0 in 1972-73) and 1917 Senators (9-0-0 in 1919-20) are the only other clubs to register at least one. Vegas also won a seven straight games in Las Vegas from April 9 - May 8, which was the second longest home winning streak in franchise history.

VGK UNDER PETE DEBOERThe Golden Knights collected their 20th victory under Pete DeBoer with it’s last-minute 1-0 victory over the Arizona Coyotes (Jan. 24) and collected their 50th victory under DeBoer with a 5-2 victory over the Colorado Avalanche (April 28). Since becoming the bench boss in Vegas on January 15, 2020, the Golden Knights have a 55-19-4 (.731 points percentage) record under DeBoer. The points percentage during that time ranks second in the NHL behind Colorado (.738).

ROAD WARRIORSThe Golden Knights finished the regular season with 19 victories away from Las Vegas. It is tied for the most road victories in the NHL this season and is ties for second most road wins in franchise history. The team won five con-secutive games away from T-Mobile Arena from April 12-24, which tied for the third longest road winning streak this year in the League.

OVERTIME IS WINNING TIME FOR VGKThe Golden Knights finished the 2020-21 regular-season with a 9-0 record in games that ended during the three-on-three overtime session. They were the only team in the NHL to not lose a game during the five minute extra session. Max Pacioretty led the league with four overtime winners and Jonathan Marchessault chipped in with two OT winners.

BLOCK PARTYThe Vegas Golden Knights blocked a total of 843 shots, averaging 14.89 blocked shots per game this season, which led the NHL. The Golden Knights started the season having blocked at least 14 shots in the first eight games of the season, the second-longest such streak in team history (9 straight w/14+ blocked shots in Oct./Nov. 2017). Alec Martinez leads the team & ranks first in the NHL with 168 blocked shots this year. Including his last five games as a King before being traded to Vegas in February 2020, Martinez has blocked a shot in 68 straight games he’s played, the longest active streak in the NHL & the longest streak of his career (had a 59-game streak with LA from December 2, 2018 - January 4, 2020).

PENALTY KILLERSAs a team, the Golden Knights killed 86.8 percent of their penalties during the 2020-21, which led the League. The team allowed 19 power play goals this season, which is the fewest in the NHL. The 86.8 percentage, was the best in franchise history and the best in the NHL since Anaheim posted a 87.2 percentage during the 2015-16 season.

STRONGER AS THE GAME GOES ONThe Golden Knights led the NHL in goal differential this season with a +67. The team also finished with 69 goals in the third period of games and +24 in the final stanza, both League bests.

WILD COMEBACK VICTORYThe 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).

WINNING THE WILLIAM M. JENNINGS TROPHYVegas Golden Knights tandem of Marc-Andre Fleury and Robin Lehner won the William M. Jennings Trophy as the goaltenders who played for the team allowing the fewest goals. Vegas allowed a League-low 124 goals in 56 games, four fewer than its closest competitor (NYI: 128 GA). The minimum games played requirement of 25 games was prorated to 17 appearances due to the 56-game schedule, making both Fleury (26-10-0, 1.98 GAA, .928 SV%, 6 SO) and Lehner (13-4-2, 2.29 GAA, .913 SV%, 1 SO) eligible for the award – a first for the Golden Knights. Fleury, who climbed two spots into third place on the NHL’s all-time wins list in 2020-21, ranks among the League leaders in wins (3rd; 26), shutouts (3rd; 6), goals-against average (4th; 1.98) and save percentage (5th; .928). Fleury is the first goaltender in League history to claim his first individual NHL Award in his 17th season or later. Lehner, who won the award with the New York Islanders in 2018-19, is the seventh goaltender to claim the honor with multiple clubs (also Ed Belfour, Jaroslav Halak, Dominik Hasek, Manny Fernandez, Patrick Roy and Roman Turek). It is the sixth NHL Award collected by the Golden Knights, adding to the five earned in their inaugural season, 2017-18: Lady Byng Memorial Trophy (William Karlsson), Mark Messier NHL Leadership Award (Deryk Engelland), Jack Adams Award (Gerard Gallant), Jim Gregory General Manager of the Year Award (George McPhee) and the Clarence S. Campbell Bowl as Western Conference champions.

STONE ERAVegas forward Mark Stone recorded multiple points in five consecutive games (April 12-19), which is a career-best, & tied William Karlsson for the longest multi-point streak in VGK history. Karlsson recorded multiple points in five straight games Nov. 16-25, 2017. Stone finished with 61 points (21G, 40A) in 55 games this season. His 61 points rank tied for 11th in the NHL, while his 40 assists tied for 10th in the league. He led the league with 58 takeaways & has recorded 659 total career takeaways, which is the most in the league since the beginning of the 2012 season. He also finished the season with a 21.4 shooting percentage, which ranged second in the league. Stone was named the NHL’s first star of the week (March 8) after leading the NHL with eight assists & 10 points in four contests to power the Golden Knights (16-4-1, 33 points) to a perfect week, extending their winning streak to six games (Feb. 22-March 6). He collected a franchise record & career-best five assists (all primary) against Minnesota (March 1), becoming the second player over the last 25 years with five primary assists in a game, following Artemi Panarin on Dec. 8, 2017 (w/ CBJ). Only five different players in NHL history have had a higher single-game total. He was named the NHL’s ‘Third Star’ of the week ending April 18 after ranking second in the NHL with 3-5—8 in four games to lift the Golden Knights (31-11-2, 64 points) to a perfect week.

He also posted his 600th career point (an assist) against San Jose (April 21). Pacioretty scored 24 goals this year, which finished tied for 13th in the league. Four of those goals have come in overtime, which leads the NHL, and was one OT goal shy from tying the NHL record for most overtime goals ina season. Earlier this season, he posted his seventh career hat trick after potting three goals against St. Louis (Jan. 26). He leads all active U.S. born players in career hat tricks and ranks tied for ninth all-time points among Ameri-can born players. His first 10 goals of the season came on home ice and he became the fourth player in as many seasons to score each of his first nine-plus tallies of a season at home, joining Nick Foligno (9 w/ CBJ in 2019-20), Jesperi Kotkaniemi (11 w/ MTL in 2018-19) & Nick Bonino (12 w/ NSH in 2017-18). Pacioretty posted three assists against Los Angeles (Feb. 5). It was just the second time in his career he finished a regular-season game with three or more assists The only other time was with Montreal in 2014. Pacioretty became the second Golden Knight to score in three straight games to open a season after helping lead Vegas to a 4-2 win over Arizona (Jan. 18), joining James Neal, who did it in the first four games of the franchise’s history.

REBLOOMING FLOWERVegas Golden Knights goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury moved into third place with his 490th career victory (defeating MIN 3-2, May 5). He won his 484th career game after capturing his 66th career shutout with a 1-0 win over Arizona (April 11). He captured his 100th victory as a Golden Knight against Anaheim (Feb. 27). Among goaltenders to be a franchise’s first to 100 wins, Fleury required the second fewest games to reach the milestone, trailing only Tiny Thompson (158 GP with Boston). He has allowed more than two goals 11 times through his 36 appearances and boasts a record of 26-10-0 this season (1.98 GAA, .928 & 6 SO). Fleury finished second in save percentage, second in GAA, third in shutouts and third in victories (min. 30 GP).

ROCKIN’ ROBINSince joining the Vegas Golden Knights last season, goaltender Robin Lehner has a 16-4-2 record in the regu-lar-season to go with a 2.20 goals-against average and a .917 save percentage. At T-Mobile Arena, he is 10-1-2 with a 2.11 goals-against average and a .921 save percentage. Lehner collected his second shutout as a Golden Knight against Anaheim (April 16) and it was his 16th career shutout.

SHEA HEY KIDAmongst all defensemen, Shea Theodore finished tied for seventh with 42 points (8G, 34A). His 34 assists rank sec-ond on the Golden Knights and were tied for sixth among the league’s blueliners. The Aldergrove, BC native leads the NHL’s defensemen who have posted 40 or more points in plus/minus with +28, which also led Vegas.

COGHLAN’S HAT TRICKGolden Knights blueliner Dylan Coghlan completed his first career hat trick with 2:10 remaining in regulation against Minnesota on March 10 and nearly helped Vegas erase a 4-1 deficit in the third period. In the process, he became just the third defenseman in NHL history to score each of his first three career goals in same game. The others: Uli Hiemer (Oct. 31, 1984 w/ NJD) and Joe Hall (Jan. 21, 1918 w/ MTL). Playing in his 12th career game (all w/ VGK), Coghlan also became the 11th player in the past 30 years – and second in 2020-21 – to accomplish the feat.

ROOKIE THREAD COUNTVegas defenseman Dylan Coghlan appeared in his fifth career NHL game against the San Jose Sharks (Feb. 13). That also marked the fifth game where he has worn a different uniform combination. In the first game of his career, he wore the traditional VGK home jersey combination. In his second game, he wore VGK’s alternate gold jersey. The team debuted their retro reverse jerseys during Coghlan’s third game. Most recently, the team wore gold helmets during his fourth game. Against the Sharks, the team wore their traditional white road uniforms to complete the quintuple.

ETCHED IN STONEOn January 13, 2021, the Vegas Golden Knights announced that forward Mark Stone will serve as the first captain in the organization’s history. Stone was acquired by the Golden Knights on February 25, 2019 from the Ottawa Senators. In his first game donning the “C,” Stone finished with two points (1G, 1 A) against the Anaheim Ducks (Jan. 14), he followed that up with two assists in the second game of the season against the Ducks (Jan. 16). He helped Vegas to a 4-0-0 start by factoring on the game-winning goal in each contest (2G, 2A). He became the fourth player in NHL history to help his team to a 4-0-0 start to the season by recording a point on the winning goal in each outing. The only players to do so are Radek Bonk (4 w/ OTT in 1999-00), Pat Verbeek (4 w/ DAL in 1996-97) & Jean Beliveau (4 w/ MTL in 1970-71).

The Golden Knights become the first club in NHL history to win eight of its first nine games in its inaugural NHL season and the team collects its fifth straight victory, which matched the longest winning streak by a team at any point in its first season, joining the 1926-27 Rangers and 1979-80 Oilers.

VEGAS TIMELINEFeb. 1, 2018 - The Vegas Golden Knights capture their 34th win of the season with a 3-2 overtime victory over the Winnipeg Jets, establishing an NHL record for most wins by a team in its inau-gural season.

Feb. 21, 2018 - The Golden Knights establish an NHL record for most points by a team in its inaugural season after capturing their 84th point with a victory over the Calgary Flames.

March 10, 2018 - With a 2-1 shootout victory over the Buffalo Sa-bres, the Golden Knights improve to 20-12-3 on the road and set the record for most road wins by a team in its inaugural season in league history, passing the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim (1993-94).

March 12, 2018 - Vegas Golden Knight’s goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury becomes the 13th goalie in NHL history to capture 400th career victory as Vegas defeats the Philadelphia Flyers, 3-2.

March 18, 2018 - Vegas Golden Knight’s goaltender Marc-An-dre Fleury captures 401st career victory and 48th career shut-out while forward William Karlsson records his second career hat trick and becomes the 11th player in the NHL’s expansion era (since 1967-68) to record multiple hat tricks while playing for a team in its inaugural season, and just the eighth with a natural hat trick, as Vegas defeats the Calgary Flames, 4-0.

March 22, 2018 - Vegas became the first team in NHL history to reach the 100-point mark in its inaugural season. The previous benchmark to reach the century mark took three seasons, set by the Oilers in 1981-82 and four campaigns for a team that did not merge from the WHA (a mark set by the Islanders in 1975-76).

March 26, 2018 - The Vegas Golden Knights defeated the Colora-do Avalanche to become the third expansion team since 1968-69 – and first to start from scratch – to clinch a berth in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. In 1979-80, the Hartford Whalers and Edmonton Oilers each reached the postseason after joining the NHL from the World Hockey Association. In addition to the Golden Knights, Oilers and Whalers, only four other expansion clubs from any of the four North American professional sports leagues qualified for the playoffs. The four other expansion clubs to reach the playoffs – all from the NBA – are the 1966-67 Chicago Bulls, 1976-77 Denver Nuggets, 1976-77 San Antonio Spurs and 2002-03 New Orleans Hornets. The Nuggets and Spurs joined from the defunct

American Basketball Association, while the newly-formed Bulls were part of an eight-team playoff bracket in a 10-team league. The Hornets, meanwhile, relocated from Charlotte but are con-sidered an expansion franchise by the NBA.

March 31, 2018 - Vegas defeats San Jose and becomes the first modern-era expansion team from any of the four North American professional sports leagues to start from scratch and finish first in its division (excluding mergers and all-expansion divisions).

April 7, 2018 - The Golden Knights finish their inaugural regular season with a record of 51-24-7 and 109 points.

April 11, 2018 - The Golden Knights capture their first postseason victory in franchise history. Vegas became the first team in NHL history to win its playoff debut in its inaugural season when facing a non-first-year team. The Golden Knights joined the Rangers (1927), Blues (1968) and Kings (1968) as the only teams to post a playoff shutout in their inaugural NHL season. The Rangers and Blues also achieved the feat in their postseason debut.

April 13, 2018 - The Golden Knights take a 2-0 series lead over the Los Angeles Kings. They became the third team in NHL histo-ry to win a playoff game requiring multiple overtimes in its inaugu-ral season. Vegas also became the fifth franchise in NHL history to win each of their first two playoff games and just the second to do so in its inaugural season.

April 17, 2018 - The Golden Knights become just the third team from the NHL, NBA and MLB to complete a four-game sweep to win their first-ever playoff series – and the first to do so in their inaugural season.

April 26, 2018 - The Golden Knights capture their fifth consecu-tive victory of the 2018 Stanley Cup Playoffs with a 7-0 win over the San Jose Sharks, becoming the first NHL team ever to win its first five postseason games.

May 6, 2018 - The Golden Knights become just the third fran-chise in NHL history to win multiple series in its inaugural season after defeating the San Jose Sharks 3-0 in Game 6 of the 2018 Stanley Cup Playoffs Second Round.

Pete DeBoer was named the second head coach of the Vegas Golden Knights on January 15, 2020 and led the Golden Knights to a Pacific Division championship once the season ended on March 12 due to COVID-19. In 78 regular-season games as the bench boss for the Golden Knights, he has compiled a 55-19-4 record. During his first postseason run with Vegas, DeBoer helped lead the team to a Western Conference Final appearance, where the team faced the Dallas Stars. During his first season with the Golden Knights, DeBoer led the team to a 4-2 victory at the Ot-tawa Senators in his first game behind the Vegas bench on January 16. He helped lead the team to a 15-5-2 record and 32 points, which ranked tied for fourth in the NHL after joining the team. During the 2020-21 shortened season, DeBoer led the team to a 40-14-2 record and a XXXXX place finish in the NHL. Vegas was the only team in the league to collect 40 wins in the shortened season and finished with the highest points percentage (.732). In addition to leading the league in

those categories, under DeBoer, the Golden Knights also led the league in goal differential (+67) penalty kill percentage (86.8), goals-against per game (2.18), blocked shots per game (14.89) and ranked third in goals for per game (3.39). DeBoer owns a career NHL coaching record of 470-348-115 as well as 58 playoff victories following stints with Vegas, San Jose, New Jersey and Florida. He was named the eighth coach in San Jose Sharks franchise history on May 28, 2015. With San Jose, DeBoer guided the Sharks to a 198-129-34 record over five seasons, including a trip to the first Stanley Cup appearance in team history in 2016. Prior to joining San Jose, DeBoer coached the New Jersey Devils for three and a half seasons, posting a 114-93-41 record and leading the Devils to the 2012 Stanley Cup Final. DeBoer finished his coaching tenure with the Devils as the second-winningest coach in New Jersey franchise history behind Jacques Lemaire (276). DeBoer spent three seasons prior to his stint with the Devils as head coach of the Florida Panthers, compiling a 103-107-36 mark behind the Panthers’ bench. Before coaching in the NHL, DeBoer was one of the most distinguished coaches in the Ontario Hockey League’s history. He spent 13 seasons coaching with Detroit, Plymouth and Kitchener in the OHL, including winning a Memorial Cup Championship in 2003 and the OHL Championship in 2003 and 2008 with Kitchener. A two-time winner of the OHL Coach of the Year Award in 1999 and 2000 with Plymouth, he was also named the Canadian Hockey League’s Coach of the Year in 2000. During his time in the OHL, he led his team to the league’s best overall record four times (1998-99, 1999-2000, 2002-03, 2007- 08) and is one of only eight coaches in OHL history to reach the 500+ win mark. He ranks eighth on the OHL all-time coaches win list (539) and 12th in games coached (878). Internationally, DeBoer has frequently been selected to represent his native Canada, including serving as an assistant coach for the Canadian World Championship squad in 2015 (gold medal), 2014 and 2010. Additionally, he was a member of the coaching staff for Canada’s World Junior Championship team in 2005 (gold medal) and 1998. He also served on the Team Canada coaching staff for the 2007 Canada-Russia Super Series. A center in his playing career, DeBoer was selected by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the 12th round (237th overall) of the 1988 NHL Entry Draft and played professionally for two seasons with the International Hockey League’s Milwaukee Admirals. Born June 13, 1968 in Dunnville, Ontario, he holds a law degree from the University of Windsor and University of Detroit. He andhis wife, Susan, have one daughter, Abigail, and two sons, Jack and Matthew.
