DALLAS STARS – VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS
1:3 (1:1, 0:1, 0:1)
SERIES STATE: 0-2
Dallas burned out at home
The Western Conference champion has a serious problem. Dallas did not beat the defensively playing Vegas on its ice even on the second try and will fly to Nevada with an unfavorable 0-2 record for games. The fact that they scored first thanks to Robertson didn’t help the Texans today either. The Golden Knights timed all of their goals late in the period. In the first Marchessault equalized, defender Hanifin scored the winning goal at 38:53. In the third part, the Stars conquered the concreted defense in vain, and the visitors enjoyed another joy thanks to Eichel’s goal into an empty net.
Goals and saves
17. J. Robertson (Heiskanen, Benn) – 19. Marchessault (Eichel, Barbashev), 39. Hanifin (N. Roy, W. Carrier), 60. Eichel (Marchessault).
