SAN JOSE, Calif. — Marc-Andre Fleury made 28 saves in his fourth shutout of the playoffs and the expansion Vegas Golden Knights are headed to the Western Conference Final in their inaugural season after beating the San Jose Sharks 3-0 in Game 6 of their second-round series Sunday. The Toronto Arenas won the Stanley Cup in the first post-season in league history in 1918 and St. Louis won two rounds to win the all-expansion West Division in 1968. Next up for Fleury and Vegas will be the Western Conference Final against either Winnipeg or Nashville. Miller scored second-period goals, helping Tampa Bay advance to the Eastern Conference final for the third time in four years. Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 27 shots — 14 in the final period — for the Lightning, who rebounded from losing the series opener at home to eliminate the Bruins in five games.
