The Dallas Stars are very close to clinching a playoff spot. They just need one point in a game or another Lass Vegas loss to earn the final Wild Card spot in the Western Conference.
DALLAS, TX - APRIL 26: Dallas Stars defenseman Miro Heiskanen shoots the puck and scores the winning goal in the shoot-out against Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Logan Thompson during the game between the Dallas Stars and the Vegas Golden KMiro Heiskanen made the only shot in a seven-round shootout after Jason Robertson scored twice to reach the 40-goal mark, and the Dallas Stars are on the verge of finally clinching a playoff spot.
"We taught him a lot by practicing on him," Stars center Tyler Seguin said of the young goalie. "He’s worked hard at shootouts and you know how good he’s gotten at them. That’s all from his determination and practice, and it was huge for us." The Stars need just a single point over their last two games to get that other wild-card spot. In order for the Golden Knights to reach the playoffs, they have to win their last two games and Dallas would have to lose both games in regulation.
Logan Thompson had 28 saves, with a glove stop of his own when Roope Hintz drove hard and ripped a shot with 3:08 left in overtime. Thompson was briefly shaken up about a minute later when Vladislav Namestnikov slid through the crease, knocking the goalie down and dislodging the net. Robertson got his 39th goal in the second period when he weaved through the circle, going right to left to set up a low forehand shot over Thompson’s glove and just inside the post to the goalie’s right.
