Los Angeles: Reilly Smith scored the winner with seven minutes left in the third as the expansion Vegas Golden Knights beat the Winnipeg Jets 3-2 to grab a 3-1 Western Conference series lead on Friday. “Winnipeg comes in waves but (Mar-Andre Fleury) made huge saves, our defence did a good job and thank God we were able to get three past them,” said Smith. The Golden Knights have won three straight games after dropping the series opener and now have a chance to advance to the Stanley Cup finals in their inaugural season with a victory on Sunday in Winnipeg. “It is hard to close out teams. But we have got to do our best to go into Winnipeg and stick to our game plan,” Smith said.
