The Golden Knights advanced to the second round of the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs with a 3-2 victory in Game 6 of the first round against the Minnesota Wild at Xcel Energy Center. Here is what some Golden Knights players and Head Coach Bruce Cassidy had to say following the series-clinching win.

Brett Howden scored 4:05 into overtime Tuesday night to give the Golden Knights a 3-2 victory over the Minnesota Wild and put Vegas one game away from advancing out of the Western Conference first round.

Facing elimination in Game 6 of their first-round series with Vegas, the Wild were unable to play with a lead — which was critical in these half-dozen games — and fell 3-2 on Thursday, with the Golden Knights claiming the series 4-2.
