On the NHL Stanley Cup Finals podcast with Joe Lami:

#1 Here it is the Stanley Cup Finals and the Vegas Golden Knights goes up against the Washington Capitals for Game 1 Monday night at the T-Mobile Center in Vegas.

#2 Who to look for on Vegas in the Finals: The Knights’ center Jonathan Marchessualt who has had a great postseason and one of the key reasons why the Knights are where they are with eight goals and 10 assists and one of Vegas’ best offensive weapons.

#3 The Knights left winger William Karlsson and right winger Alex Tuch both have six goals amongst them. How do you see them matching up against Caps.

#4 The Caps have a potent offense in their own right with post season numbers from Evegeny Kuznetsov 11 goals, Alex Ovechkin 12 goals, and TJ Oshie seven goals.

#5 So the moment of truth, the countdown to Monday at the T-Mobile Center–the Vegas Knights and the Washington Caps. Joe talks about how this matchup will play out.
