DALLAS — In unexpected news from Game 3: Dallas Stars goalie Jake Oettinger was chased away just seven minutes and 10 seconds into the first period after allowing three goals.
Even more unexpected: Captain Jamie Benn didn’t even last that long.
Desperately needing a victory, the Stars couldn’t have gotten off to a worse start in Game 3 against the Vegas Golden Knights. Vegas scored just 71 seconds into the game on a Jonathan Marchessault wrist shot. Less than a minute later, Benn was called for a cross-check against Vegas captain Mark Stone, then was given a game misconduct penalty for pushing Stone near the head area when he was on the ice.
