News about William Karlsson

Karlson, 30, celebrated the Vegas Golden Knights' Stanley Cup series victory in a strange fashion as he and his teammates were announced to the audience outside T-Mobile Arena on Saturday. During team captain Mark Stone's open air address, the center compelled supporters to yell, 'Go, Knights Go!' while taking off his shirt and throwing it into the crowd. On stage, Karlsson, who was drafted by the Golden Knights in the 2017 NHL Expansion Draft, proceeded to welcome Jonathan Marchessault, this year's MVP at the Stanley Cup Finals, Jonathan Marchessault.

Since defeating the Florida Panthers 3-2 on Saturday night, the Vegas Golden Knights have taken the Stanley Cup Finals lead by a convincing 3-1 margin. Chandler Stephenson led Vegas in the first period but then doubled his team's advantage in the second period. As William Karlsson (11) scored his 11th goal of the season four minutes later, giving Vegas a 3-0 lead.

Not since Boston and Los Angeles in 2020 has the sports world's attention and curiosity been so concentrated on one area of America as Florida in 2023. The Boston Red Sox were reigning World Series champions, the New England Patriots were Super Bowl champions, and the Boston Bruins had reached the Stanley Cup Finals by the summer of 2019. The following year was devoted to Los Angeles, where the Dodgers snapped a 32-year championship drought ended and the Lakers claimed their first NBA title in the bubble.

Many hockey fans were not expecting a second all-Sun Belt Stanley Cup Final in NHL history. Boston was the best regular season squad in the league's history going into the playoffs. They were knocked out by the worst team that made it in. Canada wished that they would win their first Stanley Cup since 1993. Rather, the Jets were quickly dismissed and the Maple Leafs and Oilers' star power was snuffed out.

Jonathan Marchessault's hat-trick helped the Vegas Golden Knights advance to the Western Conference final on Sunday night. Reilly Smith and William Karlsson scored for the Golden Knights, while Ivan Barbashev had two assists as they defeated the Edmonton Oilers 5-2 in Game 6 of their second-round series. In the first period for Edmonton, Connor McDavid and Warren Foegele scored early, putting the game 2-1 less than three minutes into it. Stuart Skinner scored four goals on 17 shots in two periods, and Jack Campbell stopped all four shots he encountered in the third.
