LAS VEGAS – If the first two games of the Western Conference final are any indication, the margin between winning and losing is as thin as an ice skate’s blade. That hasn’t proven to be in the Dallas Stars’ favor this season and it wasn’t on Sunday afternoon.
Take the 72 seconds of overtime in Vegas’ 3-2 win over the Dallas Stars in Game 2, for example.
The Golden Knights had the last laugh, but it was Dallas that actually had the first chance to win. Veteran Joe Pavelski found rookie Wyatt Johnston right in front of the net just 28 seconds into overtime, but his shot was saved by Vegas goalie Adin Hill.
