The Stars face a 2-0 series deficit and will have to steal a game in Vegas to keep their season alive.
Vegas Golden Knights left wing William Carrier celebrates after a shot by Noah Hanifin beat Dallas Stars goaltender Jake Oettinger for a goal during the second period in Game 2 of an NHL hockey Stanley Cup first-round playoff series on Wednesday, April 24, 2024, in Dallas.After striking first in the first period, Vegas answered with two goals to secure the win and an empty netter with 33 seconds remaining.
However, his goal-scoring abilities are shining through early in the playoffs, especially when the goals are few and far between.After Vegas defenseman Noah Hanifin gave his team the lead with 1:07 remaining in the second period, Dallas returned to the ice in the third with a sense of desperation. Benn, Wyatt Johnston and Joe Pavelski started on a line together while Logan Stankoven joined Robertson and Roope Hintz.
Vegas finds its sweet spot when it can build a lead and then rely on its defensive game. That’s what happened again Wednesday night.The Golden Knights allowed the Stars just 21 shots on goal, including just five in each of the last two periods. After blocking 20 shots in Game 1, Vegas blocked an additional 16 in Game 2. However, Dallas competed with them, adding 18.
