The Vegas Golden Knights defeated the Winnipeg Jets 2-1 Sunday to wrap up the Western Conference final series in five games.

Former Penguins goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 31 of 32 shots in Sunday’s game. He is now 12-3 in this post-season.
Washington will host Tampa Bay tonight for Game Six of their series. Tampa Bay leads 3-2.
