Apr 14, 2023 4:06 PM

After missing the playoffs for the first time in their short franchise history last year, the Vegas Golden Knights wanted to savor this Pacific Division title.

"I'm definitely proud of the group the way they handled that and came back this year, played a lot of good hockey," Vegas defenseman Alec Martinez said. "But again, everything with a caveat. We haven't won anything yet."

Martinez broke a tie midway through the second period, and the Golden Knights won their third Pacific Division title with a 3-1 victory over the Seattle Kraken in the regular-season finale Thursday night.

Vegas finished 51-22-9 with 111 points, tying the franchise record for victories and holding off the late surge from Edmonton to win the division title and clinch home ice advantage in the Western Conference.
