## Resource

Tomas Hertl, once of the San Jose Sharks, has punched his ticket to the Stanley Cup Final with Vegas, sweeping Colorado in the Western Conference Finals — and eliminating his old teammate Brent Burns, who may be playing his final NHL game at age 41. Hertl’s playoff surge includes 3 goals, 9 points in 16 games, and a familiar Final return (he was there in 2016). With 31 goals and 57 points in 96 career playoff games, he’s proven his postseason pedigree. Burns, meanwhile, logged just over 18 minutes per game with 4 assists in 13 playoff outings, still chasing his first Cup. If he plays next season, he’ll break Phil Kessel’s 1,700-game iron man record. Vegas heads to their third Stanley Cup Final — a historic moment for the franchise — while the hockey world mourns the passing of Claude Lemieux, four-time Cup champ and former Shark, whose death was ruled a suicide.
