The Vegas Golden Knights eliminated the Winnipeg Jets in Game 5 of the Western Conference First Round at T-Mobile Arena with a 4-1 win. Chandler Stephenson and Mark Stone led the way for the Golden Knights with two goals and three points, respectively. Laurent Brossoit had a solid performance with 30 saves. The team will face either the Edmonton Oilers or Los Angeles Kings in the Second Round. This victory marks the end of the Jets' season after previously storming out to a 5-1 win in Vegas in Game 1 but being unable to secure another win throughout the series. The latest news from the infirmary is not good for the Jets' 42-goal scorer, Mark Scheifele, who was knocked out of Game 4 after going hard into the end boards. Scheifele has been ruled out for Thursday, but coach Rick Bowness is leaving the door open for a potential return. With Morrissey's name taken out of Norris Trophy conversations and Nikolaj Ehlers limited in regular-season games due to injury, the Jets were unable to hold off the Golden Knights who had a strong showing overall.
