The Vegas Golden Knights can't stop making NHL history.
The expansion franchise took a 3-0 series lead over the Los Angeles Kings with a 3-2 win Sunday, thereby becoming the only team in league history to win each of its first three playoff games in its debut season.

The 1996 Florida Panthers advanced all the way to the Stanley Cup Final, losing to the Colorado Avalanche in four games.
At this rate, no one should be surprised if the Golden Knights make it that far.
