The Golden Knights have done something no defending Stanley Cup champion has done since the 1997-98 Detroit Red Wings.
LAS VEGAS — Inside many casinos, nestled between the swanky bars and rows of flashing slot machines, stand small establishments designed to quickly cure a hangover — little glass beakers filled with bubbling blue liquid, plastic tubes pumping oxygen for customers, and drip IVs hydrating partygoers to accelerate their recuperation and prepare them for another round.
In the end, Conn Smythe winner scored the game winner in the shootout to extend Vegas’ unbeaten streak to four. The last defending champ to start the following season with four straight wins was the 1997-98 , who went on to win back-to-back Cups. In the 25 years since, only two defending champs have won even three games to begin the season: the 1999-2000 Dallas Stars, who went on to lose in the Cup Final that year, and the 2020-21 , who also won back-to-back championships.
