LAS VEGAS — Brayden McNabb hit Mark Stone in stride with a lob pass in the first period for a highlight reel of a play, but it was the gritty work of the GoldenKnights’ defense that ultimately put Vegas in the Stanley Cup Final. The GoldenKnights limited the Avalanche’s high-powered offense all series and then suffocated it Tuesday night. That defense, aided by goals from Stone and Cole Smith, led to a 2-1 victory and an unthinkable sweep of Colorado for the Knights’ third final in nine seasons.
