The Golden Knights couldn’t surpass the Canadian

The Vegas Golden Knights’ offense was tough against the Florida Panthers, a 26-goal performance that gave head coach Bruce Cassidy’s men a win in five games, and they missed a few hits to match the Montreal Canadiens’ mark .

The victors fielded the same group of 18 positional players for each game of the confrontation and of these, only the powerful Keegan Kolesar failed to make his name on the scoresheet. According to TSN network research, the Knights actually had the fourth-best offensive performance in National Hockey League history in a Finals: Their 26 goals is the same total as the New York Islanders in spring 1980 and 1981. Back then, Mike Bossy’s gang had the first two of four consecutive titles and defeated the Philadelphia Flyers and Minnesota North Stars respectively in the finals.

However, the record for most goals scored is held by the Habs in 1972-1973. Led by Yvan Cournoyer with six goals and 12 points, he outplayed the Chicago Blackhawks in six games, scoring at least four goals per game. Behind them are the 1990-91 Pittsburgh Penguins, who hit the pin 28 times at the expense of the North Stars and gave Mario Lemieux the first career advantage. Third place goes to the 1954–55 Detroit Red Wings, who scored 27 goals in seven games against a Canadian who did without Maurice Richard and was suspended for the entire playoffs.

In Vegas, Mark Stone led the team in the finals with five goals and nine points, while Conn Smythe Trophy winner Jonathan Marchessault did well with four goals and as many assists.
