Vegas became NHL champion by defeating Florida in the final series 4-1. The decisive match at home “Vegas” won with the score 9:3.
Ivan Barbashev, 27, won his second Stanley Cup of his career. He won the trophy for the first time in 2019 with Saint-Louis.
– From the second period, it was clear that the game would be ours and that Vegas would not miss its chance. The feeling was different compared to the final against Boston, in which Ivan played (in 2019). Then came Game 7 and the fight got more serious. This time it was easier.
When we won the first Stanley Cup, we had a shock. Then I was proud that Ivan played in the final. Nobody expected the victory then, because Boston was the favorite. This time it was the other way around. Vegas looked better in many ways. The Golden Knights have a great team, have built a great system and, moreover, all the circumstances have come together, Dmitry Barbashev told .
After leaving St. Louis that season, Barbashev played 45 games for Vegas, including the playoffs, and scored 34 (13+21) points.
