Stanley Cup playoffs.

 

It’s an unprecedented achievement for the first-year Vegas Golden Knights.

 

And it means the rookie franchise can be expected to generate millions of dollars more in ticket sales, merchandise revenues and more sponsorship deals.

 

Before we dive into the financial windfall for the Golden Knights, LVSportsBiz.com interviewed key VGK players after Vegas knocked off the Colorado Avalanche, 4-1, at T-Mobile Arena Monday night.

 

First, forward Jonathan Marchessault.

 

 

Let’s go to forward Erik Haula.

 

 

Let’s move to the Flower, goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury.

 

 

And finally, William Karlsson — who scored his 40th goal in an empty net to seal the 4-1, playoff-clinching victory tonight.

I also wanted to share our game photography from Las Vegas photographer L.E. Baskow, who captured several gorgeous images tonight for LVSportsBiz.com.
