2018 Western Conference Champions

The Vegas Golden Knights, with 500-1 odds at the beginning of the season have become the 2nd NHL expansion team to reach the Stanley Cup Final.  The first were the St. Louis Blues when all the expansion teams were in the same conference which guaranteed one of them would make the Final.  

Led by the stellar play in goal of Marc-Andre Fluery, this team was on a mission and defeated the Winnipeg Jets 4 games to 1 to capture the Campbell Trophy as Western Conference champions. 

In an odd move the alternate captain Deryk Engelland accepted the Campbell Trophy and carried it off the ice, breaking with superstition and tradition by touching the trophy.  In the past teams never touched any trophy unless it was the Stanley Cup, however in 2017 Sidney Crosby of the Penguins carried the Prince of Wales Trophy off the ice and then went on to win the Final against the Nashville Predators.
