They're the only players with a record next to their stats, and those results hold the most weight in the Stanley Cup Final, which begins Wednesday night in Edmonton when the Oilers host the Florida Panthers.

LAS VEGAS - The Golden Knights bowed out of their second-round series against the Edmonton Oilers in five games following a 1-0 overtime loss Wednesday night at T-Mobile Arena. Vegas' only win in the series came on a game-winning goal with 0.4 seconds left in Game 3, and even that was deflected by Edmonton's Leon Draisaitl into his own net. The team ended the season on a 127-minute goalless drought, and it's not as if Oilers goalie Stuart Skinner was standing on his head to do it.

LAS VEGAS - Welcome back to the playoffs, Stuart Skinner. Benched in favor of Calvin Pickard midway through the first round, he returned to the Edmonton Oilers' net and shut the Golden Knights out in back-to-back games to eliminate Vegas with a 1-0 overtime win Wednesday night at T-Mobile Arena. Kasperi Kapanen jammed in a rebound on the goal line to win it for the Oilers seven minutes into OT. The sudden-death tally gave Edmonton a 4-1 series win.
