Through three games in the Stanley Cup Final, the Washington Capitals have stolen home ice from the Golden Knights by splitting the games in Vegas to open the series, and then winning the first game in D.C. with a convincing performance.
Considering the fact that after three games, Vegas has recorded 53.2 per cent of the shots on net and 54.3 per cent of the shot attempts, you wouldn’t be out of bounds to suggest the Golden Knights have deserved better than to have lost two games in a row.
However, those metrics miss some of the detail that’s made the Capitals so successful in this series.
