The Golden Knights successfully defended their home ice at T-Mobile Arena, and jumped out to a 1-0 series lead.<\/p>\n

In their inaugural season as an expansion team, the Golden Knights reached the 2018 Stanley Cup Finals, but they were smoked by the Washington Capitals<\/a>. In their second appearance in the finals, the Golden Knights did not squander the rare opportunity to win a championship. They seized control of the series with an opening-game victory.<\/p>\n

Before the finals began, oddsmakers at DraftKings installed the Golden Knights as the betting favorite to win the Stanley Cup<\/a> at -130 odds. The red-hot Panthers claimed the Eastern Conference Crown, but were only +110 odds as a slight underdog.<\/p>\n

The Golden Knights are now -220 odds to win the Stanley Cup, and the Panthers slipped to +180 odds after dropping Game 1.<\/p>\n

Game 2 is scheduled for Monday night in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n
