Jonathan Marchessault recorded a natural hat trick in the second period and the Vegas Golden Knights beat the Edmonton Oilers 5-2 in Game 6 to punch their ticket to the Western Conference Final.

It marks the fourth time in the Golden Knights' six-year history they've advanced to the final four of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Vegas will take on the winner of the Dallas Stars and Seattle Kraken, who meet in a Game 7 on Monday in the other conference semifinal.

Adin Hill turned in a tremendous performance in goal for Vegas, making 39 consecutive saves after allowing the first two shots of the game to get by.

The same can't be said in the Edmonton crease. Stuart Skinner was pulled for the third time in the series after allowing four goals on 17 shots through two periods. Jack Campbell entered in relief and stopped all four shots he faced in the third period.

Edmonton's elimination ensures a Canadian team won't win the Stanley Cup for the 30th straight year.
